Things I forgot about England...
The roads in the countryside are really tiny... and the tractors/ lorries/ buses don't slow down when passing!
London is not that cosmopolitan... I was well reminded of this when a drunk tramp nearly threw up on my child, in the street on Friday night.
The higher humidity is not helpful for keeping my hair neat after straightening it! Definitely need more product!
The countryside is beautiful and I LOVE the freedom of walking the dogs off lead from our doorstep.
British TV ROCKS!
The weather isn't really that bad.
All in all, the last few weeks have been pretty fun. Its been wonderful catching up with old friends and seeing family and as Ethan is off to stay with his grandparents soon, Nic and myself also get to spend some time together. We really need this at the moment as Nic is working harder than he ever has in his life, he loves his job but its taking everything from him at the moment, so some couple only downtime should be just what we both need.
The house is feeling more like home, I have hit Dunelm Mill pretty hard, and we've also found some lovely second hand items to make the place feel lived in and loved. The absolute joy here for me though, is the garden and the location. Tucked away in the countryside out here, it really is a peaceful little slice of heaven!
Next stop, get my arse back in the saddle... literally!
