"Blackburn is a dreary-looking town in England's industrial northwest. The weather, typically British, was wet and chilly, much like her reception among many there."
"Dreary"? How dare they?
But The Washington Post, painting a rather more lyrical picture, comments:
"Rice is making an unusual diplomatic foray to this land of green hills, simple homes and many sheep in an effort to learn about countries beyond their capitals. She was the guest of Foreign Secretary Jack Straw, who represents the Blackburn area in Parliament."
Ah, the (dreary) green hills, simple homes and many sheep of the Blackburn area.
