England is quite nice shocker!
Well, been back in Blighty for 2 weeks now and have gone from thinking "ooh everything's tiny" to slotting right back in to life at home with my family.
Don't listen to the media, the streets aren't full of chavs, dogshit and peodophiles, the food is absolutely to die for and watching telly without advert's every 5 seconds is a refreshing change.
Seeing my old bezzie mate again has nearly moved me to tears and reminded me what life is like with a dear friend in it on a regular basis.
It almost makes me want to move back.
Who'd have thunk it?

Nope, family is all in Lancashire, actually just been into Manchester today and seen they have a big wheel London-eye style and lots of the German Christmas markets on. Strange to see everyone walking round with cups of mulled wine, as of course would be more illegal than marrying your sister in the US.

Re: England is quite nice shocker!
Hi Sarah...I'm pleased to hear you're having a great time in Blighty. It just feels so comfortable doesn't it? Must admit after being here for over 11 years when I go back it's still the same...apart from a few new buildings here and there.
Enjoy the rest of your stay.
