http://gayle-englandadventure.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
The Great England Adventure. Tuesday, 26 August 2008. After the speeches, the cake was cut, and then dancing commenced. Ian joined us when he got home from work, about 9 pm, and we stayed until midnight. Then the party moved inside to the hotel bar. We finally called a cab to head home at 2 am. The wedding was fun, but felt long to me as I didn't know anyone but Chris (and later Ian). Monday, 18 August 2008. Well, I've decided to try my hand at a blog. No promises for the timeliness of updates, but I...

http://gayle-englandadventure.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
The Great England Adventure. Friday, 31 October 2008. Flashback, pt.1: Moving into Bristol. Thought I'd go back in time and catch you up on our move into the Bristol apartment. Our container arrived the end of August and the goods were delivered Sept 2. Ian was working so my in-laws came and spent the day helping out (thanks Mum and Dad! Oh, I almost forgot to mention that our unfurnished apartment was lacking not only in furniture (as expected), but also in appliances! A fast-wash option which is only 50.

http://gayle-englandadventure.blogspot.com/2008/11/armistice-day.html
The Great England Adventure. Tuesday, 11 November 2008. Today marks the 90th anniversary of the end of WWI - the 'Great War', the 'War To End All Wars'.

The Great England Adventure: Goodbye, Rumpole
http://gayle-englandadventure.blogspot.com/2009/01/goodbye-rumpole.html
The Great England Adventure. Saturday, 17 January 2009. Sad news my friends. John Mortimer, author of the Rumpole of the Baily series of books, has died. There is an article in the NY Times:. Http:/ www.nytimes.com/2009/01/17/books/17mortimer.html? I will miss Rumpole's expressions of love for the Magna Carta and the claret at Pommeroy's Wine Bar, and his adversion to returning home to "She Who Must Be Obeyed.".
