A Meat Loaf for Every Moment A Meat Loaf for Every Moment By Megan Cutler | March 10, 2014 | Comments 1 comment Music has always played an important role in my life. In high school, I participated in both the chorus and the band, and that participation resulted in some of the most stressful and most memorable moments of my life. I’m almost always listening to music. I listen to music when I travel, when I relax, … Read More Read More
Back in the Day Back in the Day By Megan Cutler | March 3, 2014 | Comments 0 Comment I spend a lot of time talking about the importance of the Internet. How amazing is it that we can connect instantly with someone living on another continent and speak face to face? When I was a kid, our only connection with people overseas came in the form of pen pal letters our teachers forced … Read More Read More
Always Check the Weather Always Check the Weather By Megan Cutler | February 24, 2014 | Comments 1 comment When we finally got settled into our apartment, we took our first serious look at sightseeing since our arrival. Turns out English schools have a half-term break for every term (and three terms). Unlike the usual two terms that we’re used to. Canadian schools don’t get a major break until Christmas, so it was a … Read More Read More
Excess Baggage Excess Baggage By Megan Cutler | February 17, 2014 | Comments 4 comments When my husband got invited to work in England for a year, we packed our bags, sold our house and crossed the ocean. It wasn’t half as simple as it sounds, but we got there in the end. The first part of the process ended up more difficult than much of what came later. It’s … Read More Read More
Diamonds in the Rough Diamonds in the Rough By Megan Cutler | February 10, 2014 | Comments 1 comment My husband and I don’t watch a lot of TV. We gave up on it when most networks turned to reality TV and cheesy cop dramas (but that’s a whole other blog post). When we do fall in love with a TV show, its box sets inevitably adorn our shelves so we can re-watch them … Read More Read More
Waking to Wokingham Waking to Wokingham By Megan Cutler | February 3, 2014 | Comments 0 Comment If you recall, a few weeks ago I posted this picture of the view out our window from The Hope and Anchor, which we called home for a month. The pub is located in Wokingham, a short jump from the place we live now. It was the first place in England we got to properly … Read More Read More
Like Breath Like Breath By Megan Cutler | January 27, 2014 | Comments 2 comments Writers talk a lot about how they write. It’s a question people (including other writers) ask a lot. We also talk about why we write. What got us interested or involved in writing. The question people don’t ask, is what happens to a writer when they stop writing? It’s strange that the topic isn’t addressed … Read More Read More
Further Observations Further Observations By Megan Cutler | January 20, 2014 | Comments 2 comments Just after our arrival in England, I made a list of strange things we noticed. Now that we’ve had some time to settle and really take in our surroundings, we’ve noticed a few less-crazy weird things, some of which we’re actually fans of. By Any Other Name While wandering the streets and neighborhoods of Wokingham, … Read More Read More
A Green Christmas A Green Christmas By Megan Cutler | January 13, 2014 | Comments 0 Comment Due to the large price tag of a flight across the ocean, we spent Christmas in England this year. There wasn’t any snow. My husband can’t believe it. He might believe Christmas was a dream. Thanks to modern marvels like the Internet, however, both of us got to chat with our families on Christmas day. … Read More Read More
Crisis Mode Crisis Mode By Megan Cutler | January 6, 2014 | Comments 1 comment There are so many memes on the internet these days, I barely pay attention anymore. While scrolling through my Facebook news feed a few days ago, one did manage to catch my eye. It was one of those simple black and white images with a quote proclaiming some people think they could survive the zombie … Read More Read More
