The Yankee Wench Blog

Friends and Family,

I have started a blog chronicling my adventures in the UK and abroad. I am titling it the Yankee Wench because there are hundreds of pubs here in Merry Old England and if I owned a pub (which I do not) I would call it the Yankee Wench. I will send you all an e-mail of new posts or if you are REALLY bored you can log on periodically.

Now, I would like to start by saying that many of you have suggested that I start a blog (ok maybe one or two) but I have decided it would be the easiest way to keep in close touch with all my favorite people. The only exception to this rule would be my parents who do not have e-mail and insist that I print out my previous adventures and send them snail mail which is a major inconvenience. My father refuses to pay the cable company for the high speed internet charge. This from a man who campaigned for Hilary and voted for Obama and he is worried about $40 per month being an excessively high charge. But I digress, I could write a book on the idiosynchrasies of my parents who are my favorite people and the source of much humor.

I hope you all keep in close touch through this blog and e-mail as I miss friends and family very much. I should warn you however that this blog may suffer from some geographical and historical inaccuracies. I have a few friends who are much like my husband "Mr. Jeopardy". They are amazing people who are very exacting and during their downtime probably read the Economist and only watch the History Channel, A&E and Discovery. (Karen, Patrick, you know who you are) My husband is always trying to correct my minor geographical and historical flubs but will forever be unsuccessful. I beg that you enjoy my blog as it is and forgive any inaccuracies.
