May 5 Observations in England

All of that planning and preparation went out of the window. For whatever reason when I arrived in England posts that I had written simply wouldn't publish. Switching blogging gears, I decided to use my Instagram account as a short term solution to writing and formatting my posts.

The next handful of posts are compiled from my Instagram posts, with some new additions inserted for good measure. This should help better catalogue my writings, and to let folks who don't interact with Instagram in on the conversation.
