As the old song from World War II said, “There’ll always be an England.” Although, who knows if there’ll aways be a United Kingdom the way things are going in the UK as I write this. But, even if not, there’ll always be an England, independent though it may become.
What a ridiculous thing to say. Always is a long time. It’s like, forever. Eventually, in four or so billion years, our sun will become a red giant, burning off life on this planet. I’m not a physicist or geographer, but I think that means that anything that could reasonably be called England, or any other country for that matter, would no longer exist. Have a nice day.
Be that as it may, this category holds my travel journal entries for days I spent in England while it lasts. It is a subcategory of my “United Kingdom” category, which, in turn, is a subcategory of my “Europe” category.
I also include lower level subcategories for each of the cities and towns I visit.
