Thought I would introduce you to one of my favorite magazines.
Anglotopia. The Magazine for Anglophiles
English treasures await readers inside the pages of each charming issue.
There's a slang page.
Lorry=A semi or truck
Bonnet=hood of car
Plaster=Band Aid
Tube=Underground
Tipping Down=Raining heavily
You get the picture.
There's a book page which gives titles of books to read relating to England. I refer to them often.
Recipes for scones, shepherds pie and other English favorites.
Articles about historical figures such as : Henry VIII, Alfred the Great, Richard III, Queen Anne.
Sites to visit: Oxford, Canterbury Cathedral, Emma Bridgewater, Exploring Leeds, Twinings Tea to name a few.
Research on the London Blitz, The Spitfire, The National Trust, The Great Smog of 1952, History of the Mini Cooper. The list is endless.
There is a whole site of all things Anglophile here...
Anglotopia.net
You will go down many rabbit holes getting lost in the wonder of it all. A great escape. The hours will pass without a thought. But you won't care, for you've found pure enchantment.
You're welcome.
