Very mountainous and one of the most beautiful places in the US. You might feel less homesick.... <br /><br />I love the hilly Kent countryside too, and the specific green that I can't quite yet explain. <br /><br />Wow--an Englishman who's not passionate about tea--haven't seen that yet. The rules (esp at work) about tea are elaborate, yes, and I'm always afraid of breaking them! <br /><br />My husband is a huge coffee fan, but maintains that a cup of tea can solve any problem....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341041630077859952.post-78813419242664361972011-10-18T03:37:46.174-04:002011-10-18T03:37:46.174-04:00Hey Paul...great post!

They were selling the Texan beer, Shiner, down here in Florida cheaply when I used to visit. Oh course, when I moved here, they increased the price by about 50%!!! (They must've just been trying to get people hooked!)<br /><br />Well, you've caught me out with the Marmite comment as I did actually buy a jar for that very purpose - Sh, don't tell anyone! ;-)Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04125096218951977368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341041630077859952.post-35947613277309373702011-10-05T23:27:45.092-04:002011-10-05T23:27:45.092-04:00If you come up to Huntington again, try Canterbury...If you come up to Huntington again, try Canterbury Ale's. They have good beer and English pub food.<br /><br />I always wondered if you could use a little Marmite or Vegemite to flavor onion soup or a stew of some sort.Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04767446631534257051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341041630077859952.post-4291015280270632392011-10-05T11:29:16.732-04:002011-10-05T11:29:16.732-04:00@Texa - Oops, I must have made an involuntary faux...@Texa - Oops, I must have made an involuntary faux pas/double entendre, or something? lol<br /><br />@Expat Mum - Although food and climate do go together. Down here in FL a lot of my English recipes just seem too stodgy to eat most of the year! It does amuse me so many of the US Southerners eat lots of deep fried food, though, and that many of the original settlers down here were from Scotland - Coincidence? ;-)<br /><br />@Eve - Yes, I don't know what the situation will be up there. Florida is a touristy state and people come here to retire, so it differs a bit from other places.<br /><br />@Kevin - Yes, the US has all sorts of climates and terrain and some far bigger mountains that the UK. The mountains in England are just really big hills(!) I just need some effing money, then I could go off exploring...! ;-)Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04125096218951977368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341041630077859952.post-27824388320442794192011-10-03T21:26:44.928-04:002011-10-03T21:26:44.928-04:00some cities are easy to get around, Austin, New Or...some cities are easy to get around, Austin, New Orleans, NYC, the beer is getting better here, and as for hills, Georgia isnt too far from Florida, you made the right choice, but get out explore this pretty country of ours a bit, KevinAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341041630077859952.post-56731753895503870922011-10-03T19:13:39.312-04:002011-10-03T19:13:39.312-04:00Oh, I hadn't thought about beans on toast!

Sorry, I'm weird like that. But cheese and onion, sounds sooo good. I would enjoy it and the accompanying stinky breath to go with it. If you wouldn't mind, I might have to do a little something like this on my blog. I would of course reference ya :)TexaGermaFinlaNadianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14203116752208683591noreply@blogger.com
