its taken the better part of a year but i'm finaly having pangs of homesickness... it all started when i saw a red london bus ( they use it around here for tourist tours) .
Got worse when i went to a out door ex pat event, were it suddenly poured with rain, it was amazing to see the blitz spirt come out! the locals packed up and left but the brits started singing ( " i'm singing in the rain!") handing out free wine and chips, almost like a party really, everyone was so happy... and you could see the locals looking at them as if to say " you british werdios!"
and of course i tried buying twinkle lights, and so now am missing woolworths, were you could get twinkle lights for 99p last year! Yes i know they went under but still...
...i'm going to miss the queens speech, yes i know its traditional in my family to mean to watch and then forget to, but still...
i miss not being able to do a quick whizz around tescos, here i have to translate all the labels to figure out what it is.
the other night it was raining so hard it looked like snow...if i want to see snow now i'll have to go into the mountains...
