Fantastic (day no.) Four

Saturday was all in all very busy(as usual) but such a wonderful day! We woke up early in the morning. I got dressed as simply and practical as I could and then went a walking round with Patch. He was a little bit stubborn but I managed it. Then I had breakfast and after I finished my breakfast I went to the church down the street. Judith was already there and I got to know many frieds of her. I got introduced to them and I helped them with their selling. Judith had baked four pies, 2 plates of "flat Jack", 2 plates of Scones, crispy chocolate muffins and 4 cakes with cream around them! She also sold marmelade and all people in her neighbourhood had baked as well! It looked (and tasted) awesome! We ourself bought Scones, cakes and other things as well. It was a great opportunity to buy some souvenirs for my family at home. I also met Jackie, a 17-year-old-girl from here. She was so firendly and maybe we will meet again and will have a film night together.
We had not much time at home for a lunch but we enjoyed our sold food and then Jane came around to pick us up from home. We went with her to Southwell a beautiful city 50 minutes away. The Nottingham Harmonic choir had the last rehearsal and I could sit there and listen to them. It was really good. I had also the chance to walk around the church and I can only say I enjoyed it very much. There was a cellist, a violinist and the choir with 140 singers!
They also performed one song from Bach("Erbarme dich"), which I liked very much:)
After the rehearsal we went to a café and drank a cappuccinos and lattes and Judith and I went later on to a Pub. It was called "The Bramley Apple" and the pub was so comfy and beatiful. I can recommend it to everybody who get through Southwell.


We enjoyed our proper dinner and enjoyed the surrounding very much. When we got back I got to know a 23 years old girl, which talked to me and she donated me the programme of the show. I met Judith friends, which I now know very well and we enjoyed the show together. It lasted for 2 1/2 hours with a little break in the middle of the show and of course we had english tea and cookies. After the show we went home and were very exhausted from our long day. I went straight into my bed and fell asleep. It was a really fantastic day !

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...
