When I tell people where we went for vacation last year, they want to hear all about it and see pictures. It's a very cool country, I love it too. There are lots of Americans who feel that connection, and I'm sure lots of Brits who feel it too in the other direction. I would move to England or Ireland in a NY minute if I could, at least for a little while. |

When I first went to Beverley in Yorkshire I knew where everything was and what building was round each corner - that felt very strange! |
