More Friday Five.
1. What is your lineage? Where are your ancestors from? England, on both sides of my family. I'm pretty much as white as they come! No one has ever done a family tree and I can't trace back past my parents (ahem) so there might be some surprises there. But England it is.
2. Of those countries, which would you most like to visit? I've already been to the UK lots, but it has of course changed since my folks lived there. I'm sure there are parts I haven't seen that might be kind of cool.
3. Which would you least like to visit? Why? I'd love to explore it all, silly....
4. Do you do anything during the year to celebrate or recognize your heritage? I celebrate my Britishness often, and in many ways. I eat marmite (on toast) and lots of salad cream and cheddar sandwiches. I watch "Keeping up Appearances" every week (ahem) and sat through the Brideshead Revisted marathon last month on PBS. I'm fond of Tony Blair (don't shoot me) and of course Prince Charles with his silly ears. When we were little my grandmother would tell my sister and I that if we were lucky we'd grow up to be princesses. Sheesh....
5. Who were the first ancestors to move to your present country (parents, grandparents, etc)? Hey that's me! I'm the first one in the USA! My parents did leave jolly old England but they went to Canada, and I have a sister in Ireland. Everyone else is still in the UK.
