Not too much to ask

I've had an epiphany.

For the last little bit I've been thinking about where I would like to go in the fall (other than a tropical island that is owned by me and where only people that I like can come and live). So in my head I've been going over the merits of England and, say, Utah in an attempt to get a logical view of things. What I've come up with, though, is that I want both. No matter which I choose, there would be aspects of the other that I would miss enough to become cranky over it.

My solution, then, is to combine the two, much like the good people who decided that it was too cruel to make me decide between peanut butter and chocolate and so put them together, thereby earning eternal glory.

All I have to do is find a place that has all of these things and I'll be set:

Green English countryside
Public footpaths
Baby lambs
Custard on all desserts
Castles and stately homes
Easy access to Europe
British chocolate
Men with British accents
Big singles wards (the right-thinking kind with older people)
Real Mexican food
Ice cream shops
Wide streets with no parallel parking
Target
Sunshine
Legal permission to work
Gas that costs less than $10 a gallon

Any ideas?
