Fish and chips! My goodness the British really do them best so we made sure that the first full day we were in England involved fish and chips. It was so worth the 5 month wait.
Old towns with a bit of history. American has some older bits but still nothing like the history contained in England. So we made sure that whilst we were home we visited a few lovely old towns. The two you can see here are St Albans and Bath, both places we used to go a lot. I just love the way they look. It probably helps that they are both upper class places!
Roaring fires. Whilst being in the states over the summer period we have barely needed cardigans or jumpers (sweaters for my American friends) so the idea of heating seemed ridiculous. But as the Pinterest pages filled up with autumnal cosy scenes we both began to yearn for a good log fire. So naturally we convinced my not-at-all-cold parents to have a fire in October, something unheard of in the Keble household!
Lincoln. Our first married home. We loved being back there for a day to see the sights and just pretend that it was a normal day. It really did feel like we were going to finish up in town and then swing back to number 52 to sleep. Well it felt like that up until we drove away. We love that city.
And lastly we also just missed familiar things. For example, shopping in Sainsburys and knowing what everything is called, or drinking coffee out of actual mugs in coffee shops instead of takeaway cups. So here's a few final pictures of familiar things that made the trip home feel like home.
Overall we loved the trip and can't wait for the next one. Hopefully it'll be longer and we'll get to see more people.
