About

A Connecticut Yankee in Queen Elizabeth’s Britain

My attempt to understand my adopted country better! I emigrated to the UK in 1969, exchanging more “creature comforts” for a kinder, gentler, more tolerant and more community-oriented society.

There have been a few changes since then! This blog chronicles my continuing efforts to navigate life and its roadworks in this changing society, by focussing on health and social policy developments and their impacts on everyday life.
