England 1, The Overview

It has been two weeks since I have written for the blog.  This is the longest I’ve gone without writing since I started last April.  Nurit and I were in England (without the laptop)

It was a bit rainy (the worst July since 1952 or something) but we had a very good time.  Over the next few day I’ll post some pictures on Flickr of the trip.  Sections are likely to include:

  • Hadrian’s Wall
  • The Grand Reunion
  • Signs of England
  • Other Highlights: Canal Boating, Cambridge and the Lake District
