Just too many to list!

I know the move home is constantly on my mind, often sub-consciously... the other night during a break in conversation with the better half - I suddenly blurted out "Airport!". It had nothing to do with the previous conversation, or anything else we'd spoke about that day!

Maybe, I'm just a weirdo..?

You're not mad, you're English!!!

Not often, but very very greener. I never knew how green it was until i came here. When i watch Emmerdale on UKTV i am amazed at how green it is

When i get back i think the first thing i will do is have a decent curry!

fish n chips with mushy peas, a visit to the beer garden of a nice county pub for a lunch, a decent chinese takeout, go to the theatre district in London to see a fabulous show then walk over the wobbly bridge at night with my loved ones, take a drive in a Black London cab and a ride on the red tour bus, ride the train to Cornwall and check out the beaches, my cousins new pub and after a good fix like that make my way back to London and have a good look around Harrods & M&S before catching the plane back to the States.

FRESH AIR!!! and that earthy smell after rainfall, the Kent coast, good music, good TV, nightclubs, real pubs with character, fashion, decent cosmetics, ASDA, feeling of belonging, a culture I know all about and don't need it explaining to me, my hometown... aah... if I could transport myself there right now...
