An Expat in London it my blog. I thought of, wrote, and published the Thank You post in less than 5 minutes. Funny how that post seemed to either resonate or really push a button with a few folks moreso than most of my other posts.
Note to self: apparently less thought & effort on my part equals more comment-worthy posts.
Go figure-either way, thanks for the shout out!
I write shepherdsbush.wordpress.com - just to say thanks for the compliment!
have a look at the festive bollard at www.bollardsoflondon.blogspot.com Happy Christmas to one and all and thank god we are another day nearer to the end of the recession.
I'm an American "ex-pat", and I say ta now without really thinking about it. Haven't they got better things to worry about, like how the wonderful zucchini is just a courgette here?
