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 ...

Inchcolm Abbey and the Royal Gallery

A lonely island next to the city centre- Inchcolm   This Saturday we took the ferry and went to Inchcolm Abbey. It's a beautfiul island in the Firth of Forth in Scotland. From Edinburgh we drove only 15 minutes to get the ferry and it cost 16 pounds to get to the island and back. Your first thought is that "Wow. This is quit expensive", but it was really worth going on the island! The tour was guided so the speaker told us a lot about the history of the 2 finished bridges and the one which is still in progress at the moment. It was really interesting to hear all about the bridges the railway bridge is for example now Scotland's sixth world heritage site. Then we arrived at the island which is cared for by Historic Scotland. On the island there is an abbey from the 12th century which was built by King David the First. The abbey and it's grounds are fully open to the public and it was so nice to wander around. There are a lot of birds on the island. It...

First Day

Start of my journey- Everything new My journey started on 6th May. I travelled by Eurostar to Bruxelles and from there straight to Loughborough. We came to Bruxelles and it was very busy there. Many people were running in different directions. My parents and me had enough time to spend some at a Häagen Dazs Café-quite expensive! But after a coffee americano/ cappuccino and some delicious Häagen Dazs ice-cream(banana/caramel i had to say "Goodbye". It was a sad situation and me and my mother cried (only a little bit!) before I was totally on my own. I managed the tour to London St. Pancras and from threre I had only 30 minutes to catch the East Midlands train to Loughborough. There were some trouble so I arrived 25 minutes later than I planned. But everything turned out fine. Judith catched me up and we drove home to East Leake. A little village with a supermarket, a pub, a butcher, some cafés, a vet, more churches and so on and so forth. She cooked me a perfect meal with...
