She's Not From Yorkshire

Welcome to our blog, about life in England as three sassy, tell-it-like-it-is-American women. You see, there are tons of American ladies in Britain, and we need an outlet to rant. Cry. Rave. Complain about our English in-laws. Be homesick and wonder why the kettle needs descaling so often! This is what we’re all about –discovering things about the UK and the US that would have never occurred to us if we’d never lived here. With one us of us living in the North, one of us living in the South and one of us moving back home to America, we know about life in the UK as an American woman…so why not come join in the fun!
