Are you gonna be tres Amurican and have burgers and hot dogs and meet the family?
Or are you just going to enjoy yourself?
people with kids, we know what you're gonna do!
Those without responsibilty, what are you gonna do?
Me I'm planting V early in the morning all leafy greens, Bio dynamic gardening, then I'm opening a bottle of prosecco, getting out the strawberries and reading When you're engulfed in Flames by dear old Sedaris. An almost British Amurican writer.
Or maybe a book by Brad Thor, his name alone promises a fun ride.
Flags out guys, have a fun day.:D

I'm not from Cambridgeshire, but am still glad to see you here! :) How did you find your emmigration back then? Mine was hard enough and I've only been here 7 years. If I hadn't found this site (still in its relative infancy then), I think we'd've gone back pronto.
