You picked up a good American tradition while you were here. I hadn't realized Thanksgiving had penetrated the Continent, though I do have friends in England who celebrate the holiday (she's British, he's American). The Brits do recognize at least one other American holiday that I'm aware of, the 4th of July. It may be a rueful memory for them, but on the 4th a few years ago as I was tooling down the M1 from the Lake District to Cambridge, the BBC was playing American music from the 40's and 50's as a toast to Independence Day and David Frost was opining on American culture and ideals. But that was then and today is Turkey Day. I'm off a bit later for dinner with friends and will do Thanksgiving #2 with family on Saturday. So, a Happy Thanksgiving to all my fellow celebrants and may the spirit of the holiday spread to all.
