Interview with Inventor of the Speedy Store in Ashbourne, England

Jennifer and John spent a lot of time trying to build the small town where they lived in Nebraska. While traveling to England, they decided to track down Peter Fox, inventor of the Speedy Store to learn more about grocery store vending machines. The goal was to make their small town (situated in the middle of the American Food Desert) a healthier place to live by providing better access to food. ...

Getting Ripped Off: Travel Nightmare Part II — By Jennifer Shipp

It’s hard to say how far away Central Station actually was from the terminals at Heathrow airport, but I would guess that it was half a mile or more. Central Station was where we'd find a bus to take us to Gatwick Airport. We’d recently discovered that we’d arrived at the wrong airport only an hour and a half before our flight took off.

When we got to the Central Station ticket booth we ...

Arriving Late at the Wrong Airport: Travel Nightmare Part I — By Jennifer Shipp

Over the years and through many trips abroad, our family has learned to dread Airplane Days. These are the days when everything must be packed in an ultra-orderly fashion. These are the days when we put on our clothes and our shoes knowing that we’ll have to remove them (most, but not all of them thankfully) and everything in our pockets to go through security. These are the days when our most private and ...

The day after we arrived in London, we packed up our belongings and stacked the luggage outside the Holiday Inn Express hotel where we’d stayed the night before. John pulled our rental car around from the parking area and we shoved everything that we could into the trunk and whatever was left into the back seat. We were grouchy and jetlagged and hadn’t really been properly nourished for at least 48 hours. ...

Stonehenge: A Place for Big Cats to Play — By Jennifer Shipp

It would be hard to get excited about the pile of rocks near Salisbury, UK if I hadn’t encountered so much hype about them ahead of time. Not to say that I regret going to Stonehenge. That’s not it. But rather just that it surprises me that people take the rock circle as seriously as they do when it’s a proven fact that no one really knows why they’re there. The vote is still out on the real reason why the ...

Mason’s Yard at Great Bedwyn, Wiltshire UK — By Jennifer Shipp



Almost everyone has been to London, it seems. Or rather, if a person has traveled outside of North America, chances are they went to London. That’s cool. I don’t have a problem with that. But I struggled with the idea of staying in London for a whole week while we were in the UK because it just seemed like a trip that everyone’s done before.

I’m also not a big fan of ...
