I could rattle off a list as long as your arm of all the things I can't stand about the UK and maybe 1 or 2 things I do like (if I think really hard but I'm sure one of those things is Belgian and the other Swedish). I am not particularly close to my family and I have the internet if I want to speak to friends. I've never lived very long in one place so have no roots.
I really wanted to come and live here so am embracing it 100%. I missed Oxo cubes and gravy granules for the first few weeks but only because I'd been cooking with them for years. I've now got substitutes or I cook something else.

Anyway, veering way OT now. Now I come to think of it, isn't the bacon I miss so much really Danish

We are pretty much snowed in here, there is no way we could get down the hill from the house to the main road. So everyone is home and I think we're going to put the Xmas decorations up....and have a bacon sandwich (just to veer back on topic )
