Behind the crumpet
With a venti double in one hand and a home baked scone in the other, I’m taking my family of five circus show on the road from suburban Maryland to one of the most English-y parts of England. Everyone there will be just like in the musical Camelot, right?
PS: I’ve discovered that some readers think I am actually in a circus. While my children can seem like elephants, and I often feel like a lion tamer, we’re really just a normal(ish) family of non-circus-performers.
PPS: I don’t put photos of my kids on this blog. It’s a privacy thing. You should be relieved, really, because if I didn’t have this policy this would be wall-to-wall of my adorable non-circus-performer children, who are the brightest, cutest, most photogenic, most awesomely awesome kids ever.
PPPS: I guess I should have a photo of myself on here. Sigh. Here’s me when I totally met the Queen. She told me she reads this blog.*

*PPPPS: I probably made that up.
Okay, I just have to ask–are you a Dartmouth grad? There aren’t too many people who would reference the homecoming bonfire. Wonderful blog! I hope you and your family are settling in nicely!

We lived in West Leb for 4 years while husband was in his grad program at Dartmouth & I worked in the libraries. Oh, and sold tickets at the Nugget so I could get in to movies for free. =) Go Big Green!
Ahhh…. West leb! We used to love that Chinese restaurant there, until that panda place opened up in Hanover. I was a science major so didn’t have much reserve readings, but was in awe of the orozco mural. An aside, aren’t you amazed by all the pre made meals in uk grocery stores? When we lived there, that was my escape.
Oh my gosh, yes, the quality of the prepared meals — especially indian/balti — is great!
Bet you were in Dana often, if not Baker — I was up on the top floor for a couple of years in the computer lab — but after you graduated. I miss Ramunto’s. Ohhhhh, garlic knot pizza ….
George told me about your blog. It’s my first visit. A neat one.
