The owner lady heard my accent and then went on to introduce us to everyone then got me to sing men at work's land down under on ...

... through the woods, and they were exactly as I had always pictured. It was overcast and the clouds threatened rain, but we continued our walk to the beach. In Formby, they had red squirrels... I wanted so badly to see one since I had heard about them so much in the past, but alas, I was not lucky enough to encounter one due to the weather Uncle Dave said.
