It has been a busy week of travel for me, making two trips to London and back. This week coming up, I will be making four as our US CEO is coming for a visit. On Friday, whilst I was working in my office at home, a small female fox came into the yard and then up on the porch, looking for scraps of food. At one point she was just 3 feet in front of me! I was so awestruck that I didn't think to turn around and pick up my camera. I am happy to have her around as she will fead her family any field mice or rats that are also visiting my back yard! Then as the day closed out and I went to the let the dogs outside, a Pheasant rooster took off as it had been perched on my fence. It's Looney's Wild Kingdom!
This is the home of occassional rantings of an American expat who has moved to the United Kingdom. "It may be that the gulfs will wash us down; It may be we shall touch the Happy Isles, And though we are not now that strength which in old days Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are made weak by time and fate, but strong in will; To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield." lyrics of Ulysses by Alfred Lord Tennyson

Looney's Wild Kingdom
Hiya. Last Friday, 11 April, was my-friend-Heidi's birthday. This is us last year on our trip to Bermuda. Heidi was my guest for the sales awards trip. Seems like that was forever ago and it hasn't even been a year yet! The Bermuda Islands is a British overseas territory about 640 mi west-northwest of North Carolina. It is the oldest and most populous remaining British overseas territory, settled by England a century before the Acts of Union created the United Kingdom. The territory consists of approximately 138 islands with a total area of 53.3 km² (20.6 sq. mi.).
