I have a wonderful friend who's from England. When she was here in the states, she was forever laughing at things that I din't understand. She taught me to love curry with bananas and hot tea with cream.Dorainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04421672075192660319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4697562568281773339.post-34799215586860686882011-04-09T06:30:18.195-04:002011-04-09T06:30:18.195-04:00Wouldn't a book of heavenly poems be fun?

This is a laugh, and so very English with its fountains of squash and Ribena (we have some in the house right now, since my partner is from Manchester).<br /><br />Thanks for the comment on Alice Oswald--I think you were referring to your post on Poems About Fire? It is SO interesting to consider the broad but infinitesimal (did I spell that right?) differences in national culture and how they come out (or don't) in voice and tone and style--and always in sense of humor.<br /><br />Interesting also to read about your experiences as a sales rep...Heidi Mordhorsthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09902158336083356337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4697562568281773339.post-20618425404054192582011-04-08T17:41:24.684-04:002011-04-08T17:41:24.684-04:00Ha ha!
