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 !

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...
