All for love. She traded NPR for BBC Radio 4, JIF Peanut Butter for Nutella Chocolate spread, and the Manhattan skyline for the Warwickshire countryside - one woman's journey finding life and love across the Atlantic...

Christmas Eve
An hour before Midnight Mass. In front of the Christmas tree. The D.E.B. got down on one knee and proposed. I said, yes.
I was going to say that I have to be invited so that you could have a "crazy Aunt" figure at the wedding, making druken toasts to the bride and groom and trying to feel up the young bus boys, but I think that someone in your family already has the position covered.
But as I am drinking anyway, let me make a toast.
To you and D.E.B. may your ball and chain be solid gold and studded with dimonds.
Oh, and your mother wants me to add that she is ordering up a couple of buns in the oven ASAP.
Dear SWC: Thanks for the congrats! And as for the vacancy for "Crazy Aunt at the wedding" slot, well, I have so many candidates to choose from, I reckon you've got as good chance as any. What the heck, you're on!
Smashing news on my filling the post for crazy aunt-- but let's change it to crazy sister (I know there is some mean competition for that post, but I love a good challenge and have been told that I can out crazy anyone).
