Whilst I've Been On This Isle

"Britain, Britain, Britain....have you ever wondered about the people of Britain? Nor have I...."

So goes a very worthwhile television program. British, naturally. "Little Britain" is the name. Currently available on DVD in the US. Quite funny.

My blogging has stalled whilst I've been on this isle, I know, and I do apologize. I've been working, a lot, which is more than I can usually say for myself. We've gotten a lot done over here. I'm headed back to CA on Monday.

This trip I've seen more snow than I've seen in Britain during all my previous trips combined. Very strange. And sometimes it's been more like hail. One day the hail was quite large. The dog named Simba came in covered in white pellets. Looked like he'd been attacked by a gardener, or maybe a homeopathic doctor.

Freezing cold, blustery winds, sheep on green, muddy cliffs overlooking the Sea, chavs on the high street--basically your average West Country experience. The cliffs are especially pleasant in the winter. Something about the cold combined with the view of the rolling hills and the arc of the coastline, I suppose.

Meant to post this earlier, but you all should check out Eleni Mandell and her most excellent music. Went to see her play at Tangier just before leaving and she was great.

Big ups.
