Friday, my third day here


Today we went up at half past seven. The sun was shining in my room-as usual but i don't care about that. Went i went downstairs Judith was already cooking a meal for her son Nik and his wife. They will spend the weekend here with us. I asked her if I should prepare it and the answer was simply "yes". Me and Judith had breakfast and we enjoyed it very much. We talked about the plan for the day. We need to take Patch for a walk, after that help in the church (they make a coffe morning every friday for older people) and then bake another cake for tomorrow. Tomorrow will be a "cake day". It is called Christian Aid in the morning and many people here bake cakes or muffins and sell them in a good cause. I will help Judith with everything. I will take my first round alone with Patch in the park and afterwards help her and her friends with the selling in the church. The church is only 5 minutes away from our house so it wouldn't be a problem to come a little bit later. After talking about our plans we went outside for the morning walk. The sun was shining and it was beautiful outside. We walked for half an hour and later on we dressed for the coffee morning. There very many people. They all asked me who I am and what I am doing here in England. I introduced myself and get involved in many different conversations. It was a fabulous morning with a lot of new impressions. We went to a restaurant which was the direction of Nottingham. We had lunch there with friends from the chruch (Jeanette, Vory and others). Vory drove us back home and we put our walking shoes on and went again for a walk. It was raining again but I need to get used to rain here..;) And we walked a new route and came across horses and a duck. A really beautiful walk !
We came home and drove to the church to deliver our cakes. Judith baked 4 pies (!), four cakes with icing and muffins. I baked two chocolate cakes out of one dough. When we got home we watched a funny series on TV and now we are waiting for Nik and Helen. They will be here in around half an hour and I'm looking forward to it. We will have dinner together and I think it's going to be an interesting evening.

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

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 it is at the same time very

Manchester

Hi everyone! My last week at work was really really busy. It was kind of unsatisfying because I had so much work and did not get any reward for it and therefore I was really looking forward to spending the weekend away with my sister who knows me very well! So I was very happy to meet her on Friday and I really enjoyed the weekend with my sister. We met in Manchester Picadilly which is like the main train station in Manchester and we spent the whole weekend in this beautiful city.  I was really suprised because some people had told me before that Manchester would be rather rough and not too nice. Others, especially young people said that Manchester is really cool and that I should really experience the Nightlife .  So me and my sister, we  were open to experience the city without any prejudices and in the end the city proved the opposite.  We really had a great time in Manchester!! We did not only visited the Christmas market (where we drank one mulled wine f
