We were in Maidenhead where my husband was working for a few days and I took the train in almost every day with a couple of other wives who were also there. We also had an Englishman who was working with my husband take us into the country to a wonderful pub. My best memory was being stopped on the street and being asked if I was there visiting my mother. Guess those English genes show.Lois Arnoldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03088178887985732097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-28100180695347509952014-08-04T16:21:41.889-04:002014-08-04T16:21:41.889-04:00My "Mum" was British.

Did you see the book at St Pauls, behind the great altar, of the servicemen who lost their lives in WWII defending Britain? One page is turned each day, since it was dedicated in 1951.
