I was born in Washington, DC to a young English warbride and an American pa. I grew up equally comfortable on either side of the Atlantic. In late spring, my mother would take me out of my American school, we'd hop a plane or a ship and make our way to England where she'd promptly stick me in a school in my grandparents' neighborhood. As a result, both countries are a comfortable fit. My husband (Himself) is English, our first child was born in London and the second in Washington, DC. And now we're in Southern California, comfortably hunkered down in the Santa Monica Mountains.
Google Earth is such a great tool. Earlier today I was plugging in a friend's address in Cerne Abbas, Dorset. Cerne Abbas is home to the Cerne Abbas Giant or 'Rude Man' or Man with the Big Willy...always a good place to take friends for UK photo ops if you're in the Dorchester area, but when I was wandering through the mapping site, I found this photo (credit below) of the very modest Homer visiting the Giant...doughnut or discus in hand.
