England, revisited

This time last year we were in England. *sigh*

Trafalgar Square


Bateman's (where the author of Jungle Book, Rudyard Kipling, lived)


Stonehenge


White cliffs of Dover


Stow-on-the-wold


Top of Eiffel Tower (in Paris of course)


Cheddar gorge


Bodiam castle


Top of the London Eye


Leeds Castle


Click here, and scroll down to September 6 (almost at the bottom) to read my posts about it, starting with day 1. I posted daily for 2 1/2 weeks about our adventures, so there's a lot there to read.

It was so nice.
So much fun.
So interesting!

When we were there, we noticed a disturbing new fashion trend. Men wearing cardigans!! (Gag)


Daisha told me that London is the fashion leader and that I could expect to see men wearing cardigans in the US in about a year or so. I shuddered at the thought!

Today, a Land's End catalog came to my house. Guess what was on the cover?
Cardigans are all the rage here now!!! Right on schedule.

Paisley (the pattern) was also super fashionable out there, and now it's popular here too. We found it appropriate to name our baby Paisli since I was 4 months pregnant with her while we were in England around paisley stuff all the time.

(And one final note...I took the obnoxious word verification off my comments, AND I put my comment box as a pop up AND I allow anonymous comments so you don't even have to log in, so...it's SUPER quick and convenient to comment! No one has the excuse to silently blog stalk anymore! I'm beginning to think only my sister reads my blog anymore. Maybe she is the only one???)

Ahhh, memories! We had a lot of good times. I'm amazed you remembered the names of all the places (but it's BodiAm and Stonehenge). I knew you guys would get the cardi trend eventually!

I was only kidding about the spelling, by the way. I was just amazed you remembered any of the names. I don't care and certainly can't judge! I always use spell check or Eddie!
