Very British- A Journey to England

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...

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 dran...

Good Morning everyone!  It is Friday, so this means I have my day off and enough time to write about my half term which was last week. I had eleven (!) whole days off which was just great. My journey started here in Gainsborough and I travelled with the Spanish assistant to Cardiff. Cardiff We went from here to London by train which was totally fine. But unfortunately, we booked a megabus to travel from London to Cardiff. Normally it would only take 3 hours but we had bad luck and some roads were closed so it took us 6 hours instead. So we arrived very late in Cardiff and went straight to bed. But Anna, my best friend from Germany, had already arrived in the airbnb and she could open us the door. On our first morning we planned what we all wanted to see. We wanted to go to the musuem which is called "History of Cardiff" first to get an overview about the city and it's history. We spent nearly the whole day in the musuem, enjoyed lunch at an Indian restaurant and e...
