Cromer Pier
This is a scheduled post, I’m on my way back to Chicago and will be travelling all day. We’re going to have been up bright and early to get to the airport and although I will likely be home in…
The Arrival of Sunshine
The summer finally seems to have arrived in England. There’s a park nearby to my parents house where Mikey has loved to run around and play on the skate ramps when no other children are around, climbing up the ramps…
Life Tourism
Rain has been a reoccurring theme for most of our long trip to England. I’m somewhat apprehensive at the thought of mentioning it yet again, but of course English rain is the kind that permeates everything. We’ve been watching the…

Summer Yard Work [Summer Daze]
The rain in England has stopped us straying too far from Grandma and Granddad’s home this week. But the sporadic showers haven’t dissuaded us from playing in the garden. I love watching Mikey play in the garden of the house…
