After going to school in America, and marrying and divorcing an American, I had been away from Norfolk where I was born for quite some time.
I was taken back by the fog, which was thick like pea soup, and a month later, we had a White Christmas, if memory serves.
Readapting to my homeland was new and strange, after being away from it for so long. I was scared that I wouldn't be accepted as I had acquired an American accent.
There are other memories around that time period that are still fresh in my mind.
However, it was wonderful, despite the fog, as we nipped into a pub and I had my first drink was a proper cup of tea. It was wonderful.
This memory was added 31st January 2008
