Second whole Day

First whole day here




My second day here started with a typical english breakfast. Cereals with milk, orange juice, black tea and toast with marmelade (grape fruit) and Marmite (uh lá lá!).
I didn't sleep long because the sun was shining so bright in my room. But i get up at half past seven and then helped Judith with her breakfast. It was very different from the food I am used to but it was interesting!
After that we went to vote. J. made her crosses and I could see for whom she voted for. After that we went to a beautiful café. It was not so huge but really cosy. We sat down and drink coffee and tea. We talked to Bethan (which is a friend of J.) and stayed there for hours. Afterwards we went to the supermarket to buy some food and ingredients for our baking. How different the food habits are. We also bought some pork pasties. I tried them for the first time and I must say they were really tasty!
We went home to have lunch and after we cleaned up we went to see Loughborough. The city is beautiful with little stores but also bigger ones (New Look, Topshop, Boots,...)
And two days a week there is a food market. To our suprise it was today! (It's every Thursday and Saturday). We bought fresh fruits and vegetables and went to a pathway to walk for an hour.
Patch (her dog) was really delighted.
I learned new words: dandelion, rape, blue-bell, a lock, ...The sun came out and we (and especially Patch) had fun.

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...
