Trip to the Cotswolds
It’s the most wonderful place… England is so beautiful, it’s actually stunning. When people from abroad think of our country, they picture stone cottages, fields and fields of green, flowers everywhere and chatty people. Having being brought up in London, I didn’t really see any of that and still now whenever I come across sheep in the wild, I quickly text my brother ‘SHEEP‘, just because I still think they’re so funny. And when you do go into the countryside there are sheep EVERYWHERE. I always joke that there are so many sheep in Wales, but OMG the minute you drive into the country, they are bleating all over the…

Why English food is the best!!
Food glorious food… When people say English food is bad, I just feel sorry for them. They obviously haven’t experienced England properly.

Hungry for a typical English breakfast at dinner time? No problem for London! I literally could go on and on…

Literally no traipsing through the menu trying to decide what to eat – although just choosing one of those three options was hard for me! I originally heard about this place from my colleague when I was working in London many years ago. He…

English Supermarkets
Food, glorious food… I remember the first time we walked into a huge supermarket in Germany. I was astounded by the meat section. There were rows and rows and more rows with just meat. Minced, slabs, big, small, whole chickens, hundreds of sausages to choose from… wow. And the only fish on sale was smoked salmon in wrapping. Disappointing for fish fans, but heaven for those carnivores amongst us. Last week we went home to London for a memorial. It’s the first time we have been back this year (!!!) even though it’s cheap and only an hour away. We popped to the dentist, but our phones were on Germany…
