My home town in the UK... fabulous medieval cathedral, once the tallest building in the world for 300 years!

Always happy to welcome our ex colonial brothers and sisters here in the old country!

Let's ignore the British trait of shooting ourselves in both feet by making idiotic choices like Brexit..at least Liz Truss has been given the order of the boot!

I was amazed that British Baked Beans are almost unheard of in the US, despite the most iconic Baked Bean brand being made by Heinz! Baked beans on hot buttered (preferably sourdough) toast...yum 😋

I think we're good with things not being as open as it would be say in the summer, we're just keen to soak up the more local atmosphere and spend time in coffee shops and eat in local restaurants...

Really hoping for some snow...we hardly ever get snow over here in the UK these days unless you live in Scotland! Have a good Christmas too!

Also hoping that it is really cold rather than just just like a UK winter day which is quite miserable if it's rainy! We're coming ready for it to be properly cold and even snowy!

We're really hoping not to have to hire a car as using a train is part of the experience not just the destination, your idea of Concord sounds good as I think it's gonna be quite historic I guess?

That's exactly the sort of advice I was hoping for...is Salem connected to the Witch trials? Thanks for your help!
