Reunited after 10 years...

My big brother came to visit this afternoon.  He only stayed for a couple of hours, but it was fan-freakin'tastic to see him again.  He bought me loads of English chocolates, played with my kids...it was just wonderful.  we both got teary eyed at seeing each other again...stood in the middle of a Metro tram platform in the freezing cold and biting wind, blubbing at seeing each other again.

I'm still crying as I write this.  I'm promising myself that it won't be another 10 years until we see each other again.  Next spring is looking pretty good for a trip back to England.....

This is me and my brother.

You and your husband are always welcome at my estate in Gloucestershire, my security team will make sure no local peasants bother or infect you.

Why, thank you!  That's a very generous offer!  Do you hunt, Sir Peter?  I'd love to go grouse and pheasant hunting with you!

" Do you hunt, Sir Peter?"

Oh of course my dear girl, there is nothing more thrilling than hunting down a young fox for hours with a large pack of dogs and then watching them tear it to pieces. We in England are very proud of our blood sports, I myself was once banned from the hunt for breeding blind foxes. I was accused of poor form, but it was just another example of natural selection and God's divine will.

That we are.  I participated in a hunt once.....and I used to hunt pheasant regularly with my Uncle.
