These lists seem to be a favorite for you all. Sometimes we find it more challenging to create them! Here’s us giving it a go for a third time. See what I did there bringing it full circle, if not catch up on #10 😉 2. Wonky is a term used to describe anything that …
It’s been a while since we created our original list of quirks about living in England. So we figured we would pool our minds together as a family and come up with another list. Enjoy!
We came up with a list of amusing, fun, and unique things we’ve experienced living in England compared to life back at home in the United States.
