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 ...

Chatsworth and Yorkshire

Hi happy people! Another week went over and my weekend was filled with nice activities. I am really happy that I have every Friday off. That gives me and the other assistants the opportunity to plan nice day trips. Our last day trip is just over and we went to Chatsworth ! Marie, the French assistant has fairly the same interests as I have. This term we both wanted to visit Chatsworth in Derbyshire . She has already been to Chatsworth but I always wanted to go. When I stayed with J she always said she does not bother to go there again because she takes all her guests to Chatsworth and she was kind of fed up with paying the expensive entrance fee to get inside the house. But I know Chatsworth from various movies and it is the stately house where Pride and Prejudice or some scenes of "The Dutchess" were shot so it is really famous here in England. Every year they have a special Christmas decoration and this year the theme was Charles Dickens. He himself has be...

South England and my last week

My last week in England- spending time in the South   Time went so quickly! I left East Leake after nearly four months on Sunday. It was very sad but all the people said I should come back soon and that I am always welcome. Pam and Paul gave me a card and J invited all friends for a leaving-do lunch. I was a little bit sad but I'm sure I want to come back to visit them and J wants to come around christmas to Germany so we'll meet them as well. I travelled by megabus to London. It took 2:40 hours but it was an easy and comfy journey. My parents waited paitently and it was so great to see them again! We enjoyed our evening and went for a meal and drinks in Maxwell's. That's a restaurant/bar in the middle of London. I showed my parents Covent Garden by night and we listend to a singer on the street. We went to bed late and it was all in all a stirring and very exiting day! Covent Garden market On the next day we went to the city centre to see Covent G...
