Launched around the middle of June 2006, the Englishman In America weblog is more than just a blog for my personal ramblings (although there are sure to be plenty of those). Its aim is to become a resource for all British expats living in America or Brits thinking of coming to America whether it be for work, holiday or permant residence.
It should also become a resource for anyone interested in all things British and looking to find information on this in the U.S.
I hope to eventually compile a directory list of British blogs and shopping resources amongst other things over the course of the coming months.

Monday night is typically leftovers night for us, typically as a hangover from Sunday dinner which always results in the cooking of way too much food for whoever might be invading our home on that particular weekend.

Of all the new shows scheduled to be released this Fall, Jericho was the one premier I was looking forward to the most.
The premise is a tantalising one.

This was my first visit the balloon races which this year were celebrating their 25th anniversary so I didn't know quite what to expect. We arrived early, VERY early at around 4:30 in the morning, packing several blocks away as we had been advised that parking at the balloon races ...

Today, (Thursday, August 24th 2006) Pluto ceased to be considered a real planet in our solar system. Instead, it has ...
