Modern England

Saturday March 7th

During the four years when I lived in England during the mid 70's showers were largely unknown. Since then they have gotten into them in a big way. We are often baffeled by the controls. Some show the water temperature and have options that are amazing. In London the shower had a huge pan on the ceiling and it was like being in a rain forest, no option of not washing your hair.

Decorating has changed too-large print carpets have been replaced by softer solids. Coal fires replaced by log fires.

The flowers and gardening are spectacular-even in winter. Flower boxes bloom, bulbs flowering in every garden and church yard.
