After Paris, we flew to Nottingham, which is in central Britain, mostly to see the birthplace of one of my favorite authors (D.H. Lawrence) but also to see a bit of smaller-town, country-ish English life.
Nottingham, home to Robin Hood
Grayson had a traditional English breakfast (blech!)
We read some funny Brit papers
Went to the town of Eastwood to see some DHL stuff, including his birthplace museum:
and went to my first ever Ikea, where we ate some exotic Swedish cakes.
You'd think our first time in a country that speaks English would have been a little less foreign, and it mostly was, but around Nottingham, which is in the Midlands, the accent was so thick I sometimes couldn't understand people!
