Happy Holidays from the UK! Here are some recent photos from the end of 2011.
Langley Moor is a modest village two miles outside of Durham and my new home. The east coast rail line runs intersects the part of town, and the main road runs from Neville’s Cross on the west side of Durham out to Brandon. This place has a community feel, the old ladies on the bus all chat with each other, and the guys go to the pub to watch football. According to Peter the pub owner, we are to support Sunderland (not Newcastle) if we want to drink at his bar. We’ve met a handful of our neighbors now, and all are really friendly.
Here are some photos from the neighborhood to give you a feel for the place:
Also got to visit London last month to see my friend Lori who has just moved there, and Dan, who is in London quite often. We explored some new neighborhoods and walked along the canal. We checked out the markets in Camden and Hackney. And had my first British Sunday roast courtesy of Sarah.
And took in the light-inspired art of Lumiere here in Durham.
One more thing, I contributed to this book, and had a hearty laugh when I saw the cover!
Enjoy your holidays. Wish I were a bit closer, especially at this time of year. Keep in touch!

seriously ... whay are the lines on the road so crooked?
I don't know. There are many things here that are really difficult to understand. Like at the store, buying two small cartons of milk is less expensive than buying one large one of exactly two times the volume.
The crooked lines might mean no parking. But I'm not sure.
