There's something that feels familiar about England. I'm drawn to period films set in England, whether it's the gritty streets of London or the beautiful English countryside. There's something about old timey England that resonates with me deeply. Is it because I grew up watching Mary Poppins on repeat? A past life? My ancestral lineage? I have ancestral ties to Bromsgrove, a village that dates back to Roman times. Their town market has been taking place since 1200.
I love top hats, cobbled streets, castles and English gardens. I love English wit and banter. I also love their directness and politeness. The English are infinitely more formal than I'm accustomed to and it's quite amusing to observe and interact with.
England is home to some of the world's most iconic landmarks like Big Ben, Tower Bridge, London Eye, Stonehenge, it's many churches and palaces. It's history is so well preserved it feels as if your time traveling. The past is still present. England's oldest pharmacy/chemist has been in operation since 1734! It's just wild how old and well preserved things are. Not just the buildings and the streets but the glorious trees.
