We all know the British have some of the best English slang.  While training here in England,   I’ve overheard most of my favourite sentences of 2012…like the riding coach (with a lovely joviality that in Canada might only be reserved for a happy children’s cartoon character) suggesting her student “pop up into trot”…or a water sports enthusiast making what he/she believes to be a casual reference (but is not)— to a specific brand of yacht varnish.

Mini-sorry the visuals on this post don’t match my remarks: I’ve decided instead to post the three animals that I’ve gotten to spend time with since leaving home. I miss you Domino.
