We arrived at Tim and Latania’s yesterday. Their place is stunning. It’s about an hour and a half Northeast of London. Tim came to pick us up. But before we left London we all got lunch. At one point I asked ‘So, is your house older?’ He says “Not really. Only about 120 years old”. Got it. When we pulled up, it felt exactly like Cameron Diaz in the The Holiday.
This is their huge backyard. It’s crazy, sexy, cool.
So instead of being myself I had to act like I didn’t care because Art and Angela told us that the English don’t like it when our kinda people (Americans) are overly polite or complementary. Don’t smile or laugh too much. Also, don’t be too dramatic about your likes and dislikes because it’s annoying. Also, here’s a list of “offensive” words we use in our everyday language, don’t say them. Check, check and check. You basically described my personality. COOOOOL! So you can imagine how I’m acting. Weird, awkward and not myself. Not committing to my sentences cuz I’m unsure about EVERYTHING. So when I do try to say something funny, it doesn’t land.
Also, Art and Angela have British accents here.
An egg stop in the country.
