Sunny and well-travelled August

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:

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.

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

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 it is at the same time very

Manchester

Hi everyone! My last week at work was really really busy. It was kind of unsatisfying because I had so much work and did not get any reward for it and therefore I was really looking forward to spending the weekend away with my sister who knows me very well! So I was very happy to meet her on Friday and I really enjoyed the weekend with my sister. We met in Manchester Picadilly which is like the main train station in Manchester and we spent the whole weekend in this beautiful city.  I was really suprised because some people had told me before that Manchester would be rather rough and not too nice. Others, especially young people said that Manchester is really cool and that I should really experience the Nightlife .  So me and my sister, we  were open to experience the city without any prejudices and in the end the city proved the opposite.  We really had a great time in Manchester!! We did not only visited the Christmas market (where we drank one mulled wine f
