I don’t even know how often I think of England. I think of how much I loved Glastonbury and
the Abbey. I didn’t get to go up to the
Tor or see the burial place of Joseph of Arimathea. I think of York and all the places I didn’t
get to explore. I think of all the
history I want to dive into about York and Leeds, the place of my ancestors. I am pretty obsessed with England.
I have watched many of the British shows on
Netflix: Doctor Who, Happy Valley, Call The Midwife, Broadchurch, and more. I just finished Downton Abbey. My last book I read was called Avalon set in
the Glastonbury area. I am obsessed.
I hope to go back to York. I hope to spend a month in the area while
taking some side trips to Lancaster and Glastonbury.

Okay, really the side trip list is a lot
longer, but I would be studying the places of King Arthur and the War of the
Roses.

Also, there is a lot of legend
about Jesus, Mary, and Joseph of Arimathea I would love to dive into. Yes, I have to add Sherwood Forest and
Shakespeare.
Hoping is not a strategy. What is my strategy? I ordered two new books:
The War of the Roses (nonfiction) and Mary, Queen of Scotland and the Isles
(fiction). In my free time, I will read
an old book, The Plantagenets, and continue with War of the Roses. I started the Mary book already. I will continue to self teach myself all about
England. But what about going back?
Well, money is an issue. Also, I am still raising my youngest. I have dreamed of going to Italy with my
husband and this trip comes before England.
My strategy is to be patient. Once
Madelle is graduated and Jerry and I have taken our trip to Italy, I will start
the research and saving money. My goal
is York, England for a month no later then 2025. This will give me time to hopefully finish a
lot of my writing projects that I have in my head, so when I do make it to
York, I will have room for more projects.
Kind of exciting!!!
