About “England 2012”

This daily photoblog will follow two pilgrims’ progress from pub to pub across southern England. During 2 weeks in August (7-18) we hope to visit London & the Games, Canterbury, Rye, the Cotswolds, Oxford, Hogwarts, Bath, Salisbury/Stonehenge, and who knows what else. Each day’s post will feature a few photos trying to capture our experience, a bit of commentary to provide background, and photos of that day’s premier pub and pint.

We’re old. We forget stuff. This blog will help us remember.
