Edmundbyers Socializing

While we were staying at the youth hostel in Edmundbyers attached to “The Baa” (an adorable village pub), I was blessed to meet Dan, a physical therapist with a beautiful American black lab. Dan lived in America for many years after leaving England to pursue a physical therapy career. He lived in Rhode Island for 8 years and then Florida for about 4 years. However, his brother who still lives in England was made a widower a few months ago. So as to spend time with him, he moved with his dog back to County Durham and practices physical therapy there now. He certainly had a dry sense of humor, native to the British character, but had a very self-sacrificial way of treating others that really spoke to his American influence. It was awesome to meet someone so cultured and kind.
