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.

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...
