And now an appropriate saying:

[lady_t_220]

An Englishman is never so English as when he's far away from England, for the further from home he gets, the more English he becomes.

Painfully true.


No reason for the mood icon, I just like the picture.

Really, I have to stop spamming my LJ. But darnit scones are not triangular... XD

Talking of scones. I feel like baking some... but we have no flour left cause it all went into the cake yesterday. Darnit, what is with my random baking kick?

This is so very true. I quote it all the time when I'm interviewed by prospecitve study abroad students. Of course, I paraphrase it a bit, but it's still true. :D
