I also plan to live in England one of these years. When I was in middle and high school I wrote quite a few papers on the various historical battles including the War of the Roses, the Hundred Years War, and the 1066 Invasion of England. I've since forgotten most of what I learned back then but I still think about it from time to time.Originally Posted by zao_cat
Hi! I live in America but my life dream is to one day live in England. I was just wondering if anyone out there lives there and is willing to kind of do a pen pal thing and teach me a little about how your daily life is. This kind of makes me sound like a stupid American. Trust me I'm not. Ever since I was a kid I was fasinated by the culture. Anyway, any comments would be great.

Rosiemac - I had no idea you were in Northumberland! I've been down to Alnwick Castle several times. It was a lot of fun.
