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.

YORK

A cold but great day in Northern England I once read in my UK travel guide that if you only have the chance to explore one city in the North of England, you should definitely spend one day in York. The city is not only surrounded by a wall but also by two rivers. These are the river Ouse and the river Foss which confluence in York. Because the city has been existing throughout two millenia it has so much to offer. Only one example is York Minister which is the cathedral of the city. York Minister is one of the largest cathedrals in Northern Europe and the Archbishop of York has his seat there. By the way, the title "minister" derives from churches which were established in the Anglo-Saxon period as missionary teaching churches.  We did not go inside (you have to pay a lot to get inside) but we took a look at the cathedral from outside and it really looked stunning. Somehow it reminded me of the Cathedral of Cologne, although...

Manchester, Liverpool and Lyme Park

Dear all, The new year has just started and I must admit I really needed the time off. It felt so good to be back home and I really enjoyed being far away from school and my job. Although I love working with the kids it is sometimes really hard to be so far away from your boyfriend, your family, your friends and your whole life at home. But nevermind. I will tell you about my last trip. So, just before the christmas holidays started I did another trip with my French friend M. Straight afterwards, I did not have time to wrote a travel summary so here it finally is: On our last weekend we took an early train from Lincolnshire to Manchester and stayed the whole weekend in a hostel which was called "Hatters". I must say I cannot really recommend it although it was a recommendation in my travel guide. Although its location was really central, the hostel was very old and run down. But nevertheless, the enjoyed our trip. On Friday we arrived at noon and had lunch in a nice pu...

weekend trip to London

Hi everyone! I thought it would be nice to keep you all updated. While this weekend is more relaxed last weekend was busy and very exciting for me and two of my German friends, who came over to England to spend a weekend with me. We met on Friday in the evening and my train arrived in London at 1 o'clock. Therefore, I had time to check in into our hostel and to fresh up. Afterwards, I went to the Museum of London , which is an interactive Musuem which is close to St. Paul's Cathedral. The musuem is relatively new and it was really good. When I arrived they asked me if I would like to join a guided tour through the musuem which was called "Roman London". I thought "Why not?" and joined the tour. It was really interesting and the female tour guide told London's history in a very entertaining manner. I went outside afterwards and because I had a little more time I went into Topshop and lucky as I am I found a nice skirt and a pretty top. I just love T...
