Think leaves, think rain, put them together and here you go.




So it was a day for catching up on stuff and not doing much. So some random thoughts in no particular order:
- Americans are relentlessly upbeat, and really do mean it when saying have a good day. Very tiring to a grumpy old Brit.
- Gas is ridiculously cheap – always costs less than £20 to fill up.
- Every house’s lawn is vivid green and incredibly manicured. Lawn mowing must be big business!
- New England seems very liberal (in a civilised European way), and very environmentally conscious (apart from gas prices).
- Food (apart from last night) is pretty grim. Bring on the Maine lobsters.
Speaking of which, Maine tomorrow.
