About Me
- Shelley
- North Tyneside, North East England, United Kingdom
- I'm an American woman in my 60's, originally from Oklahoma, but now living in England. I write this blog mainly because I love to write, but also to share my experience of living abroad with others. I'm having a much bigger life than I ever imagined. I think it is one of the benefits of frugality, also of occasionally taking the scarier option.

This is one of our pet peeves, folks who do not clean up after their pets. Every RV park has rules on this but it is always amazing to see those that just ignore it.
