As most of you know, we've been moving continents recently, so I've been a bit busy and been neglecting the blog. However, our seven-year old, as she patiently (and sometimes impatiently) waits for school to start after Fall Break here in Arizona, has been working hard to have something to show her new classmates to tell them about where she's just come from. She drew some lovely drawings to go along with some of these statements - I've added some pictures I had in my computer instead.
Hope you enjoy this guest blog: All about the UK, from the 7-year-old's perspective.
