In 2006, Wendi had the opportunity to visit Disneyworld – a lifelong dream of hers. In amongst the summer crowds there, she met Bruce, a Southerner, who (after a cross-Atlantic courtship) is now her wonderful and adoring (sometimes grumpy!) husband. She is adapting to life in America and is learning new things. Lesson one was, one doesn’t need a can opener to open a can of biscuits!
