The summer in England is just fabulous! When I am on my way to the park I can pick blackberries and I often sit outside and read good books. Everything is so much better when you can spend your time outside!
We are back home since friday evening. We had an unpleasant incident: One tyre of J.'s trailer tent was flat ! Somebody mentioned it when we stayed at the service station. So our journey back home was longer than expected. We started at half past 9 and where at home at half past 7 in the evening. But we were lucky that nothing happened!
J. went to a wedding at Cambridge on Saturday morning so I had a relaxing day at home. It was so nice to sleep in a real bed again. It was 25 degrees so I enjoyed the sun, read my book and went to the supermarket where I met Pam and Paul. In the afternoon I visited Margret. She is a very nice lady, she sits in a wheelchair and manages very well. We sat in the garden and talked about travelling and studying. She travelled a lot when she was younger with her husband and she still travels a lot. She knows England very very well so whenever I have a question about places (or even National Trust properties) I can ask her. I came home after some hours and looked for recipes. In less than one week we are going to Norwhich and I need to cook a meal at one night so I looked for quick and easy recipes. When I was searching for them I found other recipies as well which I wrote down in my book.
One of the best recipes I tried here in England is here for you. It's a lemon pudding and Jean (J.'s friend) made it once for us:
Lemon pudding
Ingredients:
225 g caster sugar
15 g butter
230 ml milk
6 tablespoons lemon juice (3 lemons)
30 g flour
3 eggs-seperated
baking description:
step 1: Cream together butter and sugar, than add the flour and mix it in
step 2: beat egg yolks, combine with milk and beat it into the sugar mixture
step 3: Pour the mixture into a oven proof dish, place it in a roasting tin and surround it with hot water.
step 4: place it in the pre-heated oven (160°C) and bake it for 35 minutes.
ENJOY!

Today (sunday) I went to church. It was a special service because two children were baptized. They were called Amelia and Henry and they were so cute! It was a lively service and I enjoyed that. I stayed for biscuits and coffee and talked to a lot of people (I know I lot of people now).
Tomorrow morning I will be travelling by bus to Loughborough because I need a new ear-ring. I lost one on saturday evening... In the evening I'll meet Nicola. She's a secondry school teacher here in East Leake and she teaches German. She stayed one year in Germany and we arranged that she can speak German to me and I'll reply in English. We are meeting in the Nag's Head which is the pub across the road. That will be fun.
On Tuesday morning I will be off to London by train. I'm meeting Lea, Julia and Lulu there. We are staying in the Generator hostel in a four bed dorm. I stayed in that hostel when I was in London before so I know it's central and good.
All three of them have never been to England before so I think we will be doing the touristy things but that will be nice because London is always worth a visit!
So the next entry will probably about our stay in London.
