Sunny weather makes a good mood






Being back in England I have got more time again to go to different places, read books,meeting friends(often for a meal) and watching Wimbledon! It is really nice to see how everybody is excited about tennis and it can be really interesting and suspenseful.
We saw Nadal vs. Brown and Brown won surprisingly. Another interesting game was Serena Williamson vs. Heather Watson. Heather Watson failed but she played very well! She nearly won. That was a really good game and it showed: anything can happen in Wimbledon!

It makes a lot of fun to watch Wimbledon and after a good game everyone talks about it.
I started a new book which is called "The unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry". It's about a man who gets a letter in which an old friend of him tells him that she has got cancer. He wants to help her but he doesn't know how. He writes her back that she should wait. He thinks that as long as he is wandering she will stay alive. The book is written by Rachel Joyce and it became one of several "Sunday Times Bestsellers". I started it yesterday and it seems very interesting!

http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1363215823l/17611169.jpgAnother book which I can recommend is the book "The Sea Sisters" by Lucy Clarke. It's about two sisters which don't get along with each other very well. They are so different and after their mother's death they don't spend much time together any more. One sister who is travelling around the world commits suicide. The other one is shocked and can not understand why. So she travels the same route and wants to know why she did it. The book is really thrilling and after I started reading it I couldn't stop. It was so well written and really good for all different age groups.
I'm really looking forward to getting my Kindle. I have the feeling that many people owe one. I think it is really good when you are travelling because when I travelled to Aberdeen I had 3 books in my case and after I finished all of them I needed to carry useless weight with me. So I think I can use it a lot in the next two months and also afterwards.
Next week my boyfriend is coming and I'm really excited about showing him around. I think he will like it here. We will also travel to Oxford. Oxford is recommended in my travel guide and it is famous for it's history and of course it's university.
I'm also looking forward to present him all the things I like in this area.
In August I will travel to Dalgetty (near Edinburgh), to London and to Norfolk.That would be really interesting.
I made a to-do-list for things I want to visit here and Oxford and Edinburgh were defenitly on my list.
I also want to travel to Stratford-upon-Avon and I want to see Chatsworth. It is a National Trust property so I will see if I get to experience it while I'm here.
Stay tuned:)

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...
