Yankee girl in Arthur's court

You can't appreciate home till you've left it, money till it's spent, your wife till she's joined a woman's club, nor Old Glory till you see it hanging on a broomstick on the shanty of a consul in a foreign town. O. Henry Porter 1862-1910, American short-story Writer

English Indian Summer

We've had beautiful sunny summer weather here this past week. The other day, a friend and I took our double strollers for a long walk to a B&B in a nearby village where the lady who runs it serves tea out on the lawn in the afternoons.
