Emma and David.One of the first times I chatted with David I asked him a question and he responded with a sassy, "Stupid girl!" and I gave him a piece of my mind. He explained that it's a "joke" based on a line from an English television show where the line is, "Stupid boy!" I laughed about it but was still a little offended.
Steve and Sandra are great friends and are credited with being the first people to take me to a traditional English pub for lunch.

When I first met Lottie she was still crawling and now she can run across the yard!
Sue and Sharon - always good for hugs, stories, and laughter.
One of the conversations I found highly amusing was when everyone started sharing train ride anecdotes. People find it shocking when they discover that in Canada we don't use trains for public transportation like they do here. There were plenty of stories about drunk guys, missed connections, and people pulling pranks. A great one was when the doors kept opening and closing at a station so a man stuck his head out to see what was going on but the doors began to close again. He tried to pull his head in but the doors closed just over his glasses, ripping them off his face onto the platform floor. The doors failed to open again and the train pulled out of the station.
One of the yummy puddings!The English sure know how to give a good sugar rush.

One of the things I learned while visiting Amanda in England is that "pudding" is a generic term for dessert. And those sure look yummy!
you can't call him Dave!!!! He'll kill you!!! It's David- be glad you're going back to Canada!
I changed it, although I was tempted to leave it alone since he called me a stupid girl and calling him "Dave" isn't too bad in comparison. :-) I've actually always called him "David" so I'm not sure where the "Dave" appeared from.
