My grandmother was originally from Sheffield, and whenever we went back to the UK to visit family, she would smuggle back food. When she got too old to travel, she made the rest of us do it whenever we went over. Every time I came back to the US, I'd be smuggling enough chocolate digestive biscuits that I expected to be tackled by a swat team at any moment. When our local market started carrying McVitie's, I think it was the beginning of a new life for her.

I’m nearly old enough to be your grandmother but I still haven’t given up on my lifelong dream to make it to England someday. In the meantime I’m really enjoying all your posts. Thanks for the postcard!

Laurence’s look of terror when the hat pin came out!

Kendal mint cake is so sweet because it was marketed towards walkers and climbers as easily carried emergency rations providing lots of energy. Fun video as always.
-
I love the “Lost in the Pond” videos and particularly love them when the two of you are together. Thanks for the laughs guys.

The BritRailPass for 15 days is really a tremendous buy. I was the envy of all my English friends as I just walked onto any train I felt like taking. And despite everyone's ritual moans about how the British rail system has declined, to an American it's unbelievably reliable, omnipresent, and useful.

Our local grocery store carries that brand of jam here in the DC area of the US. Not those cute, tiny sizes but the same brand.

Kendal mint cake is really meant as survival food if you're caught out in the wilds.

Laurence..sir..I just viewed your video of your trip back home..Grimsby! The reunion with your parents! I now can see why are the kind of person you are!..you come from 'good stock'! Honest, modest, hardworking people that have seen life and have met its challenges! I don't cry..but when your mother hugged you..there was a stray tear!!!!..(my cat must have been slicing onions..)

The Yorks motto ie the "do owt for nowt" translates to: Hear all, see all, say nothing; Eat all, drink all, pay nothing; And if ever you do anything for nothing – always do it for yourself. I'm a Yorkie lass born and bred lol
