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.

Last week I finally got around to visiting the Harrah's Automobile Collection at the National Automobile Museum in my hometown of Reno. You know how it is, something quite wonderful is sitting on your doorstep so you never visit it...but if it's a few thousand miles away then of course you'll make the ...

I thoroughly enjoyed the first Pirates Of The Caribbean movie and would count myself amongst those who having seen that movie had been eagerly awaiting the inevitable sequel.
I have loved pirate movies since I was a kid, watching classics like Captain Blood, The Black Swan, Captain Kidd, Treasure Island...umm, I even liked ...

Crumpets are one of the mainstays of the British breakfast table so I was delighted to stumble across them on a trip to our local Trader Joe's recently.
Never heard of a crumpet before? Well, neither had anyone else in my household when I came home with several packets so you aren't alone ...

One of the things I find myself missing most about England is the food I grew up with and the brand name products I have come to love and trust. You never know quite how much you rely upon the ability to just walk out and buy a product until ...

One of the first things my now brother-in-law offered when we first met was to warm up a beer for me as all his were 'unfortunately' chilled.
I naturally declined because, opposed to popular myth, the English do not, and never have had, any kind of a penchant for warm beer! When ...
