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.
