Going Back To England For A Visit
Currently making plans to go back to the UK, between November 28th & December 9th.
Flying on AA on one of their Boeing 777s from Chicago to Heathrow and then renting a Renault Espace, from Avis. Will be taking a few road trips with the UK part of the family.

Re: Going Back To England For A Visit
I'm off to London next weekend. Work trip - and only for a week - but enough time to squeeze in a few jars and curries with mates and bring back a case of Pot Noodles!

Re: Going Back To England For A Visit
I've just booked a trip back for Feb next year. I have 3 sisters who all live in different parts of the UK and for many years now the only time we all get together is for a long weekend in London.
Not to be missed, so I just have to fly over for it now

Nice - which parts of the UK are you planning to visit?

Will be staying just across the Mersey from Liverpool.

Re: Going Back To England For A Visit
I got back last Sunday from 10 days over there. Couple of days in London, then drove to a cottage we rented in Cornwall for a week. Rained one morning, but it was gorgeous the rest of the time. Had a blast, many beers, mucho wine and pies and pasties, and managed to limit myself to only 2 Pot Noodles.

Re: Going Back To England For A Visit
It's great to hear about everyone going 'home' for visits/trips etc, but it's making me homesick!
Keep 'em coming, all us who 'can't' get back yet, can enjoy it through you guys
Hope you have a great visit SE

Hey Englishtart - love your avatar!
I am heading back to Cheshire on the 10th November for 2 weeks, I will wave to Stockport Pyramid on approach if you like! I am intending to resist the temptation of a curry from the Raj in the village (just so yum) but with everyone mentioning them I don't know if my willpower will be strong enough. I am looking forward to shopping at a decent supermarket to bring back Sainsburys Red Label tea, chocolate advent calendars and these, lots of them:
