A few things I've learned

- We don't have the same humor as the English

- A store called Tesco is the equivalent to our Super Wal-mart

- Lindor truffles, Swiss and Belgium chocolate much more affordable here.  Thinking of stocking up.  Oh, that's right I already did.

- I love ginger beer.  Which is actually like root beer but made with ginger.

- Gammon steak is basically the equivalent to cured ham.

- I never realized provisioning a boat for six people was so much work and would require three spilling over carts of food.  If I never go grocery shopping again...I think I'll be fine with it.

  1. I can see I need to give you a reminder of our English English lesson. Despite 7 hours on a transatlantic flight the things you haven't learnt...

    You don't have the same Humor as the English as the English spell it Humour.

    You haven't realiSed you need to replace each z with an s

    "two nations divided by a common language" :-)

    You must be about to set sail so have a fantastic trip.

    Bon voyage!
