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 ...

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...
