Wanted to share that Jeanne outside London has a lovely blog, Collage of Life, that has THE nicest posts about life in England you might enjoy.<br /><br />I'm clueless as to how my blog grew so. One day there it was, now here it is! I'm like bug-eyed wow and scrambling to keep up. Hope it works out as we leave Tuesday for Europe; British friends are joining us in Jesolo, Italy. Can't wait!

There's a new movie out--The Trip, starring Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon--a film about two reporters who go out to spend a week in the English countryside, hopping from inn to inn, as food critics. I haven't seen it yet, but from the clip I heard on NPR, it worth the watch for one scene alone--that is, impressions of celebs including a spot-on Michael Caine impression that spans his entire career of movie characters. <br />I love anything Caine. Even an impersonation. ;)Jaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06694559900539722616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8786284110007207873.post-41086759505714966682011-06-21T03:16:24.642-07:002011-06-21T03:16:24.642-07:00I think Caine made a bad choice of agent around th...I think Caine made a bad choice of agent around the mid seventies however I must admit I did enjoy 'Harry Brown' last year.
