Starting when I was in the sixth grade, my life inexplicably took a turn toward the United Kingdom. About 25 years later, I learned that both sides of my family can trace their ancestors straight back to the UK. Between those two events, I became a teacher of literature and composition, always leaning toward British Literature.
Now, both consciously and unconsciously, I am always fascinated and sometimes obsessed with all things from our Mother Country.
So here's my story--both past and present. My goal for this blog? To give me a valid reason for continuing my love affair with all things British! But also to share my findings and experiences with those of you who read it, hoping you will catch a bit of the fever, too. I'd also like to hear the stories and experiences of others--the more, the merrier.
