"Doors closing"

It’s the little things that excite me.... I am like a child, and maybe this is why I love teaching so much. 

Let me explain this in more detail.... I marvel at the slightest differences that I have encountered here, but could care less about the big stuff.  I know that England is full of great history and that there are literally castles and ruins all around me, but I rather ride the metro and listen to the British accent recording.... it still to this day brings me great joy that I have been without car.  I seriously do not miss it!  I actually look forward to grocery shopping because it means I get to take a walk!

Ah walking!  I will most definitely miss the walking come June.  I have learned to enjoy my time alone and walking in the early mornings while on route to work or the library.  A cup of Java mittens and of course an umbrella and I’m a happy camper!  The fantastic British accent recordings on the metro have become another rather odd infatuation of mine!

Yes I may have some underlying psychological issue, but I wouldn’t give it up for the world.  I will forever understand the joy of hearing.... 

“Next station Haymarket...CHANGE HERE FOR ALL LOCAL BUS SERVICES” 

“The train standing at platform one is for ST. JAMES via THE COAST”

 Baaahhhahaha yep definitely an odd ball!

Here are some miscellaneous pictures to keep you entertained...
