New Readers?

Greetings No-Lookers, from damp, yet picturesque Yorkshire. We feel like an extra in a movie. The town we're in this morning is called Beverly and it reminds us much of the "perfect" English village from Hot Fuzz. The house where we're writing you from sits on a street that is a dead ringer for Privet Drive. Here's hoping we see neither Timothy Dalton nor a Dementor this afternoon.

Much has happened in our first two days here, including an incredible Rugby League Grand Final from the Theatre of Dreams, but nothing measures quite to the excitement of the first three hours, which were spent in an asylum detainment room in the Manchester airport, with nothing to look at but white walls and reflective glass.

It's a rather entertaining story, and we were about to retell it here, but now that we think of it, since this here blog was among the things inspected by UK immigration police during the interrogation, it's probably in our best interest to refrain.

Officers, if you're out there, thanks again for eventually relenting, and granting us passage...we hope you become regular readers.

Bon Voyage

This is our first posting in the month of October. The sixth month in wich we've posted on this here blog, not too shabby eh? However, today we are writing not with a rousing story or an interpretation of a current event, but rather to inform you the readers that things will be changing a little. Tomorrow morning we are leaving on a NLNC field trip to the United Kingdom and since we're not certain what our Internet access will be like, or what our daily schedules will be like, the postings will probably become fewer -- we're not really sure. What we are sure of is that the focus of our writings are going to change. The focus will change from it's current state of...well no real focus at all, to much more of a travel diary, kinda like our stories from South America last year, if you remember those.

If you've been accustomed to reading new posts each weekday (well you're probably used to not having much to read thanks to the last two weeks, we know we're sorry, our mojo just hasn't been right) we'd like to thank you for your support and we hope that even though the consistency of postings will probably not be here, we hope you'll check-in from time-to-time and see what's up with the NLNC BRITISH ADVENTURE!!!

With this being our last day (for awhile) on United States soil, we are enjoying a day chalk-full of Americana -- three playoff baseball games (Go Cubbies) and a disgusting amount of our favorite BBQ in the world (brisket, ribs and chopped beef).
