Start the year with a pilgrimage

Whether you consider the holidays a delight or a distraction, those busy weeks have now been followed by a spell of bad weather that has broken records and really messed up our schedules! I’ve lived in the Chicago suburbs for my entire life, but this time of year always has me yearning for another locale: England. I’ve been fortunate enough to travel to the United Kingdom on three occasions, and my trips were always in January, when I had a long break from my college library job.
