Hello Gilly.

So as to make it more visible, your post has been moved to the USA forum.

Thank you,
Aurélie

Aurelie -many thanks for moving my post. I had no idea where would be best to post it. Is the USA forum the best place? Thank you for keeping such a close eye on your site. I certainly appreciate it.

Loved the blog - particularly enjoy The Queen's English... Gosh, do I know what the language barrier is like down here in the South!

Just wanted to share my own link too - I'm originally from the UK and moved to the US a year and a half ago! There's so much to learn I hope sharing some of my 'tricks of the trade' will help others on a similar journey!

Hi ,
I am so glad you visited Brainstorm and wrote to me ! Thank you. I loved your story about the Policeman stopping you for speeding! You gave really good pointers! Congrats on your marriage and good luck with your absorption into US culture. :-) I am sure we have lots of experiences in common. Please sign up on the blog for regular post deliveries. I'd be glad to do the same for yours.
Let me know if you would like to do that,
Gilly
