Going Overboard Going Overboard By Megan Cutler | May 5, 2014 | Comments 0 Comment Remember a few months ago when I mentioned our obsession with stuff? I’d like to believe it grows out of good intentions. The fact is, when you buy something big and expensive, you want to show it off. You’re proud that you were able to acquire this big, expensive thing, and you want people to … Read More Read More
When Time Began to Tick When Time Began to Tick By Megan Cutler | April 28, 2014 | Comments 1 comment Lest you think I forgot… Some time ago I mentioned our first trip to the British Museum and the time we spent wandering the Egyptian exhibits. Believe it or not, the day was only half over at that point. My husband wanted to check out the early British history section, so that was our next … Read More Read More
Off to See the Sights! Off to See the Sights! By Megan Cutler | April 7, 2014 | Comments 0 Comment Since we moved to England, I’ve been looking forward to hosting visitors. My husband’s parents are working on seeing the world. They go someplace new every year. Since we happen to be living in a place they haven’t seen yet, this year they’re coming to visit! On top of that, a very good friend of … Read More Read More
To Boldly Go To Boldly Go By Megan Cutler | March 24, 2014 | Comments 4 comments I mentioned a few weeks ago that Star Trek, in many of its incarnations, is one of my all-time favorite TV shows. One of my first blog posts detailed the inspiration and lessons I picked up from watching Doctor Who. When I stop to think about it, Star Trek has taught me so much more. … Read More Read More
Egypt, Egypt, Egypt Egypt, Egypt, Egypt By Megan Cutler | March 17, 2014 | Comments 1 comment When we learned we were coming to England, there was never any question we’d visit the British Museum several times. It’s the kind of must-see location you wouldn’t want to cram into a single day. Even approaching the building was exciting. In England, there seem to be a lot of large gates with small doors … 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
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
