I love the piece! My assistant/publicist is British, and I'm learning a lot about the British 'summer' this year!
Glad you're enjoying the conversation, I hope you get to pick up clues to their situation over a few more posts! Terri, I'm so glad to be taking part in this blogflash, and the British Summer…um, wet (again!)!
