I've just stumbled across UK Yankee (amazingly enough) while I was searching for a Chicken Noodle Soup recipe as I'm home with a bad flu and chest infection and missing the comforts of the US!
Haha. Been here in the UK for the last 4 years and wouldn't change a thing. I moved all over the place and finally settled into Shropshire, a gorgeous county on the map where most people say there isn't much to do, pretty quiet and no cities? My sort of living.
It's a pleasure to meet you guys! I'm an illustrator living here and use the name Yankee Doodles as my screen name because it was a joke among my art friends. I'm in my early 30s now and totally expect to live here for the rest of my life. Hopefully next year I'll finally apply for citizenship, but what an expensive process this has been. Hah.
We have two dogs (German Shepherds) and 4 rats so far (all female, very clean, very loving)! I can't have any more children, I have one gorgeous boy, so we opted for pets instead to feed my nesting itch.
Oh well! Happy to say I found my chicken noodle information so time to get the other half to Tesco and get me ingredients. Cheers guys!
