"where are you going? what are you doing there? where are you going then? when are you leaving? is this your car? since when?" – welcome to the UK! (and they wonder why tourist numbers are going down.) (the first two questions have been asked before brexit already.) (but I made it over safely.) #england #2023
as a German it is interesting to watch the UK trying to get used to "national alarm days" and photo IDs for voting. #england #2023

in the last few days I have devoured these two books by Ann Cleeves. I really enjoyed them – not only because of the honorable mention of libraries in the acknowledgements. :) #tworivers #crimenovels #england #2023
and I read this bittersweet novel by Salley Vickers about a children's librarian I found in a charity shop. #librariansinfiction #libariesinfiction #travellinglibrarian #england #2023
the best thing about the Daily Mail newspaper (read by my host) are the cartoons. today there has been one with #squirrelcontent! (although I strongly disagree with the article it came with.) #england #2023
yesterday I learend (or I remembered?) that there are at least 2 St Ives in england. #england #2023
"do you have anything to declare? -- no, it's only books and biscuits. oh, and some squirrels. #england #2023
@v_i_o_l_a there is absolutely no redeeming feature to the Daily Hate. Don't pollute your brain!
@ahacker I see it as a kind of scientific study. countered with the i and the guardian. :)
@v_i_o_l_a being Cornish or from Kernow as its known in Cornish language. I can give you geo-upgrade. Your OK, there's still only one St.Ives in England. The other St.Ives is in Cornwall, a seperate nation in its own right, but tied to Britain as a Dukedom, which acts as a treasury for next in line to throne. Mebyon Kernow - is the regional ationalust political party https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mebyon_Kernow?wprov=sfla1
@mrchristian :D I haven't been to the English one yet, but I assume it can't beat the Cornish one (where I have been some years ago).
@v_i_o_l_a Well, but for every reader of Virginia Woolf there is only one St. Ives.
