from Baltimore to High Wycombe

Hi Matt!

I am also from Baltimore!    Lived downtown in Bolton Hill for many years. My Brit husband and I are now living in Reading. 

This is a great site and I am sure you will get to know alot of nice folks on here.

Welcome to the site!

Julie

Just so no one starts to panic about the migrants! Mindy recently posted a link to this site elsewhere and several of us who had never known of it, for a variety of reasons, came to have a look and loved it. But we've all come independently and without any pre-coordination (or at least I wasn't invited to that party!). We're not some version of the trenchcoat mafia. We're not here because of a flame war or to be trolls or anything like that. Most of us are very calm and responsible citizen-posters, not martians demanding that you take us to your leader. The community here seems really welcoming, and we'd like to be part of a good community!

Lightbulb, don't lie, you came here because you were finally banned from the other site.  No, just kidding!!  It was indeed a link someone gave which is great -- double the fun and dialogue!  I've enjoyed this so far!

Just for the literal minded - sedders WAS joking. I've never been banned from any board!

Yes, I was def. joking. Perhaps at 8 posts it's a bit too early to be cheeky.  cool..this place even has a ton of smilies!

Well Welcome to all the Migraters---no matter how you got here!

Will take a bit to catch up on all of you!
And with my move being just 18 days away --with the last 10 being spent "on Holiday"..a lot of the catching up will have to wait til I am on the other side of the pond!

Caitlinn, oooh waterfowl festival, if only I'd known I'd have never moved to this country 
You can't really get to OC without going through lovely Easton.

Jules, I think my friends live in or near Bolton Hill, is that down by Patterson Park?  Reading is just down the road from here, 30-40 minutes drive down the M4.  We sometimes go there when we need to do a big shop and my tennis team often plays clubs around there.

HG, where will you be moving to when you make it to the UK?

Finally, I didn't come to uk-yankee for the sole purpose of getting away from american expats, I still enjoy the boards there but thought I would enjoy reading and posting on here, as well.

Matt

Hi Matt,

Bolton Hill is near the Meyerhoff and Univ of Baltimore. Butcher's Hill is near Patterson Park so maybe that is where they live. As for Reading, yes its pretty good for shopping at the Oracle.

Hi Matt, belated greetings from another Baltimoron... lived in Mt Vernon up until 2000 when I moved to Reading - but am now living in Somerset. Prior to Mt Vernon I lived in Columbia.

Welcome to UKY. 

Well my lord we are just having all sorts of lovely DELMARVA people about! 

Well welcome Matt from a Virginian.... (it where I say I am from anyways)

Also welcome to all the other migrators!

DELMARVA

Crikey, that's a word I've not heard in a loooooooooong time.

Crikey, that's a word I've not heard in a loooooooooong time.

well pass the Old Bay and lets have some crabs!    

Hey, I have two really big cans of Old Bay in the cupboard.  Do you have the crabs (oooer!)?

Jules, I was thinking of Butcher's Hill!  That's where they live.

I haven't heard Delmarva for a little while either.  I know one of the Orioles' minor league teams is called the Delmarva Shorebirds.  I think they're down on the Eastern Shore somewhere, maybe down by Salisbury or somewhere like that?

We, too, have tons of Old Bay in our cupboards.  We bought a huge one and other folks have gotten us some.  We like putting it on fries or chicken and even tried putting it on Cromer Crabs once but it just wasn't the same as Maryland Blue Crab MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.  I am going home to visit next month and we're gonna go down to Essex and get us some crabs, hon!!  Either that or we'll call up Mr. Crab and have some at home.

vnicepeeps, where are you from in Virginia?  We used to live in Fairfax for 3 years before moving across the Pond.

Matt

Hey, I'm yet another Marylander who hasn't got around to introducing myself.  I call it Baltimore... it's really Catonsville.  I left vehemently in my teenage years, but as I've discovered, all roads seem to lead back here.  After the wedding in April I'll be moving off to glorious, glamorous Guildford, heh.

Nice to see y'all here (hon)

Looks like we Marylanders are taking over .. bhaaaa waaa <-- my best impression of an evil laugh.
