No guarantees, though. All depends on what's happening in our family next year. :-) If you'd like to be put on the waiting list for this year, let me know. I now have openings on the waiting list, as we've already had several drop-outs. :) We hope to, Brielle! No guarantees, though.

(Allow me to wax philosophical!) by Susan Karsten http://sensibility.com/englandblog/2009/10/01/but-why-study-historical-costume-allow-me-to-wax-philosophical/#comment-292 Susan Karsten Wed, 06 Jan 2010 19:44:34 +0000 http://sensibility.com/englandblog/?p=321#comment-292 Couldn't resist clicking on your article - as one with a degree in apparel design (career thrown over two weeks before child #1's arrival) I too am interested in clothing and the messages it conveys. I speak about this with my children and we have a lot of fun with our skirts and dresses, and our workout clothes which are more functional for jogging!

Each of us gazes across the Pond with rose-colored glasses. I know England isn't perfect, but I love thinking about all the things that make it so thoroughly English and make visits simply fantastic. Have to admit that I have the same wistful thinking about New England myself. I absolutely love visiting up there and seeing our Colonial heritage sites. Living way down here in the South I rarely get to see those beautiful places.... If only traveling was as easy (or cheap!) as thinking! ;-) I know that’s true, Cathy!

But I also pine for New England - the grass is always greener, isn't it!

Someday I'd like to visit England and see everything 'for real'! Thank you for sharing your trips with us. :) Blessings, Alyssa Mrs. Chancey,

What a wonderful way to take the "best" from every culture! I love the idea of studious travel -- in person if possible, or even just from one's armchair! Oh, and my fiance just gave me "The English Country Cottage" for my birthday -- unfortunately, drooling isn't very ladylike, is it? ;-) Thank you for sharing your little bit of England with us!

It's an anthropological look at the English people and is well worth a read, very perceptive, and hilarious if you're an outsider who's visited England!
