does that seem strange?


 I do not feel it is strange at all because that is exactly how I feel. I truely believe my heart/soul lives in England as I have so many strong ties there. My goal is to retire there someday.  I loved seeing the title of this thread! My Gran used to sing that hymn~All Things Bright and Beautiful to me as a child and to this day I still love to hear it!

It is a wonderful hymn, Janice. I get goosebumps when I hear it too as it brings back memories for me.

How I would love to retire in England (my homeland), but I don't think it's going to happen so I have to visit here every day for my England fix.

Sue~

I know what you mean about having to have your England fix. My home is full of things that were my moms and that I have aquired in my visits. And I have decorated as well in an English Country theme~we even have a conservatory that we built onto our very American split level home!!  The BBC is on constantly in our house...it drives my husband a vbit crazy from time to time.

I have found places here in NJ to buy English foods and even a few good places for "real" fish n chips. That is a real treat.

My Mom has been gone 11 years and I miss her more and more each day. But, she is alive in my heart by the the traditions I keep and even some of the foods I cook. I am always calling my aunt over in Cambs for advice on a certain dishes; and every Christmas we have Yorkshire pudding wuth our roast and Trifle for dessert!

I try my best to keep the spirit if England alive in my home. How nice to meet you!

Hi Janice:  My husband and I took our first trip outside N. America last fall when we went to England and Ireland.  We visited London, Salisbury and spent a week in North Yorkshire.  It's really wonderful and now I'm "homesick" if you can call it that. lol.  But I used this website a lot when I was planning our trip, and now I can come back to for my "fix" as Sue calls it.  We also have a great English restaurtant here in Phoenix run by authentic English people who haven't "Americanized" the menu.  They even have the full English breakfast and mushy peas.

Where in Jersey are you from?  I'm from PA originally and I have relatives in Boonton.

Tut, tut Janice that word C...., No it's no good I can't bring myself to write it let alone say it. You see I come from Oxford, the former home of C. S. Lewis! I am the legendary Ron Brind!
