Returning expats could re-populate the villages, if they don't mind living in the crime capital of Britiain!

Lewis just finished recently. Laurence Fox is off to the US. I hope they resurrect it and give Lewis a new sidekick, although I did enjoy both characters together.

Midsomer is still on, but Barnaby has retired. I haven't watched it yet. Better put it on the to do list.

I love Midsomer Murders. I didn't see it on the iPlayer but I must look again. Hoepfully, there are free episodes.

I'm also looking forward to going into a 'real' butchers and getting fresh meat instead of packaged stuff. The one thing I'm not looking forward to (and this is after checking out Tesco and Sainsburys) is the cost of Diet Coke. It's a whopping £10 for a 24pk of cans, compared to the $7 I'm paying right now. Guess I have to start drinking something else....LOL

Fruit juice and water lol!

I would really love to be able to eat British food again. At least it has a taste whereas I think the US junk is tasteless!

Tea. milk or water thats all we have in the house, it's a lot cheaper and all that fizzy stuff is bad for your bones, carbonation leaches calcium from your bones.

The strange thing is I didn't drink that much Diet Coke when I was in the UK last year so don't know why I do here lol. Spent more time with a cuppa or cordial
