hello america (holiday edition) and hello britain
the last week spent in america was great. we got to see more friends and family and had a few more burritos.
here’s a photo of the new year’s eve family jam session referenced in the last post:
we made it safely back to manchester, despite the snow in DC.
wendy got to hear a favourite professor from UNC come speak in manchester and afterwards caught up with katherine and resumed american tv night.
we brought back a few crazy flavoured M&Ms for our british friends to try, so here’s hello america (holiday edition) with ellie, helen w. and helen h. and what they thought of cinnamon, coconut, and pretzel M&Ms:
soon after we got back we also got to host friends from america for the weekend. hailey, a close middle-school friend of wendy’s (our british friends loved her alabama accent), and her husband stayed with us as part of their 15 day tour of the UK from Edinburgh to Southampton. we got to introduce them to a few british things. so here is hello britain and what they thought of banoffee pie:
we are happy to get back into our manchester lives and see our friends here. next week wendy is off to venice for research at the fortuny museum and to meet with academics.
