An Anniversary or What's been on your mind?

In hono(u)r of the one year anniversary of our arrival in England, I wanted a glimpse of the thoughts and encounters we’ve considered blog-worthy in the last year. You’ll notice over there on the left that we’ve categoriz/sed our posts by location for your post searching convenience (we know what you do on Saturday afternoons), so I skimmed through the ENGLAND options and picked out the most prevalent themes. This may seem a bit tedious, but you’ll recall that I rather enjoy lists and graphs and diagrams of interesting information, and since I wrote half the posts, I think they’re interesting. Also, I had other things I should have been doing, thus the doing of this. The results? Top themes were General living in England/cultural differences, Weather, Visiting home, and Accents and words. It was no surprise that Cultural differences should come out on top, but certainly Weather as number two is amusing. And apt. Very apt.

In case you’re curious, here’s the whole list:
