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 ...

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...

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...
