We have been able to travel a little (with what Tyler's work and TDY schedule will allow). We've been to London, Ely, Fotheringhay and Windsor, plus all the immediate local places. England is such an amazing place to have my children grow up; the history and culture alone will fill more than a lifetime. Our biggest adjustments however have been little things; obviously having a house full of American appliances and only British outlets, our small village has NO fast food resteraunts which is all well and fine most days but sometimes I get tired of preparing large meals for a large family every night, being so far North on the globe it is either light 20 hours a day or dark 20 hours a day and most of all I hate not being able to call home when I need too. That time difference SUCKS! Ok, now that I vented a little, I promise it's not all that bad. Cambridgeshire has such a slow, layed-back way of life. Nobody drives or has cell phones; everyone walks or rides bikes. We all shop at a little corner grocery and a small thrift store. Braxton takes dance in a building that was built in 630 AD. A little mind blowing but all together wonderful.
I've decided to take a break from FaceBook, where people only get little snipets (and not always the best) of my life and try to direct some energy into this blog. We miss our family SO much and I find this is a great way to share everything with not only them but everyone. I'll of course focus on my family, but also food and traveling. I hope everyone can share in this adventure with us! (at least vicariously!)
