Day 6

Monday, day number 6


Yesterday was such a sunny day. We went for a morning walk as usual and when we did this it was cloudy. But when we drove by car to pick up Vory, Pam and Paul the sun came out and it was so beautiful outside. We went to see "showhouses". That are houses which are made for people who are interested in buying a new house around here. It was really interesting to see how the houses in England are built. It is very easy. You chose a house, buy it and then you can bring your furniture and decorate it. That's it! But I like the fact that you have more opportunities in Germany. You can build your house in the way you like it and the villages are more individual.
After our trip we went to the grocery to buy some food. We bought all the things we needed and then came back home. We ate a quick lunch which consisted of boiled eggs and sandwiches and sweets. After finishing our lunch we put the deckchair-coats on the chairs and sat in the sun to enjoy the wheather outside. Jane rang at the door and brought J. flowers. I will show you a photo of the flowers right under my entry. 
We read books and it was absolutely fantastic to chill out in the sun.
At 5 o'clock J. phoned Pam and Paul and asked them if they would like to accompany us for a walk. We drove to a place where we were able to left the car and hiked to Hickley. We walked along a channel and we saw many swans and canards and Patch liked the walk as well. We went to a Pub which was called "Plough Inn" in which we had supper. We ate Chicken Tikka Massala. It was so delicious and it was the first time I ever tried it. It was a little bit spicy and contained lots of big chicken chunks. I also ate Pork crisps and I must say it was a new, unknown taste. We drank a mild beer but I forgot the name of the brand, sorry for that!
We walked the way back and drove home. We watched a series on TV and went to bed afterwards.

Loch Earn- Camping for Sailing

Our weekend at Loch Earn   Loch Earn Now I am already 1 month away from home. How the time rushes! I am happy to make all these experiences. We went camping to "Loch Earn" which is a lake. In Scotland one calls a lake a "loch". The English people have difficulties to pronunce that word, but for Scotish people and German it is easy. The kids sailed and therefore we camped all together there. I must admit: This was my first real camping experience. Since then I only camped at festivals like "Rock am Ring". The proper camping is more luxurious than our party-camping. I had a thick, comfy blowing-up matress and also a cushion(!). We had warm showers with seperate cabins and we had enough electricity. That was really good. My host family are camping-experts so they bought everything we need for cooking, drinking, etc. At our first day it was so windy. We managed to build our tents up and as soon as we were inside it started to rain! What a luck! The ...

Daytrip to the best city in the whole wide world-LONDON

London-my favourite city London (view from the Waterloobridge)   Tate Britain-Hall We went off to London at 9o'clock in the morning. We were from Ashtead to London in about 30 minutes. What a pleasure! We met Jeanette in Vauxhall and went straight to the Tate Britain. They both know a lot about British art and they presented me two famous artists. 1. William Turner and 2. Henry Moore. Moore is famous for his massive sculptures and William Turner painted big, bright landscapes. I liked the "Beach" paintings from Turner the most! He had a very good sense for drawing the sky with its various shades of light. We drove by boat to "Embankment" and there we went into the Southwark Cathedral. The Cathedral involved many different pieces of art and also different kind of alters. I liked it a lot. The churches are more open for exhibitions here. We enjoyed the sun outside in a café. We had chosen the best day to travel to London! It was 20 degree and the su...

Edinburgh and Glasgow

I am finally back in England. My last days in Scotland were so great! I stayed with a good friend of mine in Edinburgh. We stayed there for 2 days, then went to Glasgow for two other days. We stayed the last night in Edinburgh again and afterwards I met J. to drive back to England by car. Edinburgh Edinburg is the capital city of Scotland and it was so beautiful there. It was really "posh" and Edinburgh is a richer town than for example Aberdeen. It has a lot of history and you can do everything by foot. The city consists of the "Old Town" and the "New Town". I arrived on Friday and stayed for one night in Dalkeith and that was only 30 minutes far away from the city centre. I drove by bus and stayed in a beautiful posh house. On Saturday the funny part started. I met Jacky in the city centre and we checked in in the hostel. Our Hostel was called "Brodies" and it was situated on the High Street in the Old Town. It was really good. We wen...
