We won the pub quiz last night! OK, we didn’t win, but we got second place. OK, we got second place at first until the guy realized he had made an addition error. So, we got third place! The name of our team was appropriately called “Courters Yankee Invasion” – won a big Easter Egg….yippee. [...]

As much as I tempted him to reveal the location, he wouldn’t. It was going to be a surprise. I was intrigued. I can count the number of times I’ve been surprised on my pinkie finger.

Another weekend in London.

Big commercial wine tasting tour/building built on top [...]
