It's my last day in the UK. It was sunny today, and beautiful, so I went for a walk around Huddersfield while DK worked. I wandered all over, and saw lots of bobbies in tall hats about in pairs, as there was a football (or possibly rugby, I wasn't quite sure) match in town today.

Evidently the local team's colours (spelt with a 'u' since I'm in the UK) are blue and white, so I was asked if I'd dyed my hair for the match. I was also jeered at and flicked off from an upper story window by a group of young men, for reasons of which I am unsure, but I'm gonna guess either they were fans of the opposing team, or they have a problem with genderqueer people.
Anyway, it's a crazy busy day and I need to get on with packing and so forth, but suffice it to say I am, with reluctance, returning to California tomorrow. DK and I are leaving at 0400 (yes, before the sun is up) to drive to London so I can catch my flight at 1100.
Catch you on the flipside.
Here are some lovely images of Huddersfield.
