I'm a fairly open book

I'm more of a frozen yogurt girl - and I love vanilla tart or blueberry tart. If it is Ice cream, normally vanilla bean with some Kahlua or an espresso poured over it

What is your favorite ice cream flavor? Do you put any toppings on said ice cream?

 

Vanilla bean - with wheatgerm and a few Peanut butter captain crunch!

What do you miss the most about the UK?

What do you like most about the United States?

What do you like best about where you live now? I love the amount of space we have, and the fact that there is a sunny upstairs where the cat can live and the downstairs is comfy for the dogs. They hate each other.

What is one thing you would change? I miss living downtown. The house we're in is in the burbs. We'll move to an area closer to the city probably after the baby is a year or so old (which could be years away from now or in two...who knows?)

What do you miss the most about the UK?

Typically my response is food related. I love that most foods are 'safe' and that additives are more clearly labelled. I miss sausage rolls, cornish pasties, walkers crisps, spud-u-like, british yogurt...the list goes on! I also miss the history and the ability to live very well without the need to drive. I miss the wider acceptance of the LGBT community. I miss going into central London most weekends. I miss the dry humour. I miss knowing that the word I am spelling is correct.  

What do you like most about the United States?

I live in Colorado and I love the sunshine, I love how friendly everyone is and that I'm not constantly on guard waiting for the sarcasm (although I DO LOVE sarcasm), I love that the cost of living is much lower, I love love love the wide open spaces, I love the size of houses here, I love that many homes have more than one bathroom, I love the attitude of working hard to be successful, I love the American work ethic, the list goes on! 

I am very bad at picking one favorite. Long long long story short, I love being here even though I miss home terribly some times

Why the heck did you leave London and come to the US?  Man, if we could move to London without immigration bs I think we'd do it in a heartbeat.  Except the cost of living of course.  Or maybe I'm just nostalgic for our younger carefree days spent in London....

Hah....don't get me wrong. I love London and I miss it. I accepted a job offer here without ever having set foot in America. I didn't like it here for the first few months it was a huge culture shock for me. Now that I've got my green card and I'm no longer on a work visa I feel less tied to my company, and I think that helps me to feel like the rug can't get pulled any second. Also, I grew up between the UK and several African countries, so moving just seemed natural.
