England Travel Guide

As a daughter of proud Anglophiles, I grew up on a heavy diet of British period dramas, murder mysteries, and afternoon tea.

Though I was predisposed to liking England, I wasnโ€™t prepared to fall in love with England. And, that I did.

Kati and I spent a few weeks in Southern England, exploring Brighton and the South Downs. And, then we took a most marvelous road trip through Cornwall. My life changed. A year later, we returned to Cornwall for the whole month of May (guides coming soon).
