Any female brits close to Harrisburg Pa?
I've been here a couple of years and thought it would be nice to see if there are any brits around here who would like to chat!

She actually lives about 5 miles south of Carlisle. Where do you live? |
Re: Any female brits close to Harrisburg Pa?
Thank you for replying....I actually moved to Carlisle this weekend! Is your husbands sister British? I have been trying to find a British shop up this way, (I used to live in Florida and there were loads of them there!) but cant find one here. Are you planning on visiting again?

Sandy What brought you to the area? Is your husband in the US military? I try to make it to my sister-in-law's once a year for my nephew or niece's birthday. This year, I was there for the nephew's seventh birthday. I'll have to ask my SIL if she knows of any British stores. It's certainly not like Florida (with lots of expats). If I were you, World Market (if they're even in PA) or TJ Maxx may have some British non-perishable foods. e.g. teas, cookies, chocolate. |

My husband is American so is his sister. She moved to PA in the summer of 2006 partly because her husband's family lives in the area (Harrisburg/Mechanicsburg).

I am in PA and I find that the larger Giant Eagles carry some stuff. There are various places here (Pittsburgh) that sell UK/European things and I can get the general stuff I want. |

I get near Harrisburgh now and then .............. NOT FEMALE THOUGH :rofl:
And it's actually New Holand or Hershey I deliver to :rofl: |
Re: Any female brits close to Harrisburg Pa?
I'm from the US originally, but my british husband and I live near Lancaster, PA and would love to meet any other expats in the area. And if you do find a good british store, please let us know! At the moment we're surviving on Lyle's golden syrup, Yorkie's, and Ribena from Weis Markets.

Hi Tracy...
Thank you for your reply! I havent found a good British shop yet but we have just had a Wegmans store open up close to us and they have a small (very small) selection of British goods, better than nothing though! How long has your husband lived here in the States? I've been here for 8 years. Maybe we could exchange email addresses! Sandy |

I mentioned earlier that there is an internet shop "British Goods On Line" based in Harrisburg. I don't know if they have an actual shop but they sell loads of stuff on line and the delivery is excellent and fast. Even faster for you probably!. |

[sorry, didn't mean to hijack this thread :( ] Oh, there is a Britain's Best store in Lancaster city; the address is 25 W King St, Lancaster, 17603, (717) 299-5541. It does all the usual suspects like Jaffa Cakes, Bisto Gravy Granules, bacon, pork sausages. It's small but has most of the stuff we tend to miss. Best regards Dave |

Re: Any female brits close to Harrisburg Pa?
Sandy I just joined this website yesterday so I can't read your PM yet. My email is <<removed. Please use Private Messaging function when applicable>>. I'll see if I can grab yours off the post. I was in Florida for 18 long hot humid years, originally from Sussex.

I am near York PA. Not to far from Harrisburg. I have just moved to the area and would love to meet other Brits!
