As I’m sat in bed craving a cup of tea but making do with a cup (I say cup, I’ve actually got 4 cups which make up about the same amount of liquid as one of my cups at home) of hot squash it’s made me realise the little things that I take for granted at home, so I’ve compiled a list of things that I miss when I’m away:
- · A good cup of tea, or any cup of tea really, it only comes in iced form over here
- · A kettle – I’ve made my hot squash with water boiled in a pan after tripping a fuse when I tried to use the kettle
- · Proper sized cups – espresso cups may be really cute but I’m a pint mug kinda girl!
- · Rain – a strange one I know but I’ve lived in the Lakes for 3 years and it rains once a week or so and it’s not rained here yet!
- · Being able to do things throughout the day, everything comes to a standstill between 12 and 5pm, yes it gets very warm but what are we meant to do in this time?
- · Internet in your own space, I feel very anti-social taking my laptop up to the bar/pool, but I like to keep in contact with the world.
- · Being able to send a mass BBM to the family to talk to them all at the same time
Yes I love the fact that I’m getting to spend a month in this wonderful country, but it’s too hot to really do anything, my poor walking guide books are sat forlornly by the bed, but I know that if I attempt to scale those wonderful peaks in the 30 degree heat I’ll end up with sun stroke and passed out!
It’s funny the things you miss about home.
