Sunny day on sunday

Day 5 here in England or rather Rutland

After this exhausting day yesterday I did not really have any time to recover and got up at half past seven to get ready for the journey to Rutland. It was nearly one hour away and I drove there with J.'s son, wife and their two kids. We got there and had breakfast there. It was called a bacon roll and it was really different from our German breakfast, but one need to try it out! Their kids got off the shore and we had 5(!) hours free-time, so to say. We talked a lot the German school system in contrast to the Scottish one and after many other things. We had several coffees and teas and waited for J. to arrive. I also met many other Scottish people. They were all very kind and friendly but their dialect was very striking as well. J. arrived and we had lunch in the restaurant which was beside the terrace. The sun was shining and we had a good time together. After many hours of waiting the kids got back from the sea and they were really worn out. J. and me got back home and N. and H. got back to Scotland. Their tour would be lasting for 10 hours. I can't imagine that but it is really admirable what they do for their kids sake!

Today I have got only one photo but it is a really nice one.

We went back home and I had finally some time for me. I really needeed this quality time! After a couple of hours we had dinner and now we could finally relax!
Good night to all of you.

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 ...

Daytrip to the best city in the whole wide world-LONDON

London-my favourite city London (view from the Waterloobridge) Tate Britain-Hall We went off to London at 9o'clock in the morning. We were from Ashtead to London in about 30 minutes. What a pleasure! We met Jeanette in Vauxhall and went straight to the Tate Britain. They both know a lot about British art and they presented me two famous artists. 1. William Turner and 2. Henry Moore. Moore is famous for his massive sculptures and William Turner painted big, bright landscapes. I liked the "Beach" paintings from Turner the most! He had a very good sense for drawing the sky with its various shades of light. We drove by boat to "Embankment" and there we went into the Southwark Cathedral. The Cathedral involved many different pieces of art and also different kind of alters. I liked it a lot. The churches are more open for exhibitions here. We enjoyed the sun outside in a café. We had chosen the best day to travel to London! It was 20 degree and the su...

Edinburgh and Glasgow

I am finally back in England. My last days in Scotland were so great! I stayed with a good friend of mine in Edinburgh. We stayed there for 2 days, then went to Glasgow for two other days. We stayed the last night in Edinburgh again and afterwards I met J. to drive back to England by car. Edinburgh Edinburg is the capital city of Scotland and it was so beautiful there. It was really "posh" and Edinburgh is a richer town than for example Aberdeen. It has a lot of history and you can do everything by foot. The city consists of the "Old Town" and the "New Town". I arrived on Friday and stayed for one night in Dalkeith and that was only 30 minutes far away from the city centre. I drove by bus and stayed in a beautiful posh house. On Saturday the funny part started. I met Jacky in the city centre and we checked in in the hostel. Our Hostel was called "Brodies" and it was situated on the High Street in the Old Town. It was really good. We wen...
