As an American, I can return the flavor of your compliments wholeheartedly! I found the British to be consistently kind and friendly all around your great country! I mean, of course, my bloggie friends were, but so were perfect strangers. I hope you had a happy birthday! I don't see anyone else mentioned it, so perhaps I have it wrong?

I've never been but I used to work with Americans. They're indeed very friendly and often with larger than life personalities. How lovely that you were able to meet up with a follower and she didn't turn out to be a stalker with an axe LOL! One day we might take a road trip Stateside too, but I'll have to gather my courage first!

Funny isn't it how these alternative words stick in the mind when we have visited that wonderful country. Yes, it is wonderful in so many ways but none less than for the friendships that are founded because the people are 'so nice'.<br />Hugs, Neet xxNeethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13279125547309537517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-218645565952627143.post-17490721886189433452017-07-11T18:00:19.798+01:002017-07-11T18:00:19.798+01:00In Miami 28 years ago when we got married we had o...In Miami 28 years ago when we got married we had our car towed away. Cost us a fortune to get it back even though the compound people were mightily impressed that our friends address was THE OLD POLICE STATION.<br />I didn't buy my dress until I got there and the shopkeepers were over the top with excitement that we had gone all that way to get married. I think it was a bit of a novelty then. It was bloody good fun and we never stopped laughing for a fortnight.<br />You've had a fabulous adventure Julia, lots of great memories.<br />Lynn xxLynn Hollandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12683485991861662348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-218645565952627143.post-47317674113749303902017-07-09T21:12:44.918+01:002017-07-09T21:12:44.918+01:00Sounds like you have been having a blast :-)

And I can also testify to the friendliness of WOYWWers. Heavens, if it wasn't for WOYWW I wouldn't have met you, LLJ, and Di! And I'm looking forward to meeting many more in September. Hopefully, Kathy will start a blog sometime, if only to share her desk every Wednesday. Well done for not buying anything in Anthropologie - show's remarkable discipline.

(I am slightly jealous of the road trip nature of your trip too!)<br />I totally get this when I was able to meet up with blog friend Patty from the US in Paris last year - the hubbies got on fine and we talked each other's ears off while the men took photos! May have to pick up some tips from you, although i don't know whether T would enjoy driving on the "wrong" side of the road!
