Christmas food!

For the first in two years, I nipped home for Christmas - it was a quick one but just in time to have some Italian food for the holidays... and a browse around the market in Bologna!


But also come back on time for my first English Christmas dinner - featuring turkey, gravy, Yorshire puddings, roast potatoes, vegetables and gravy. Missing from the plate are Brussels sprouts (can you blame us?) and pigs in blankets, sausages wrapped in bacon.

Lake me up

Long time, no write... Things have changed a wee bit and I am back in the old continent!

After long travels, I have settled in Liverpool - just for the time being!

Need to recharge my batteries, buy a DVD player, have a couch and get a normal job... beofre I get bored of it all and leave again!

The travel bug has not left me yet so I am slowly exploring the British Isle while I am here, I was lucky enought to be swept away for a week end to the Lake District - the temperatures were cold but plenty of ales and pub grub kept us going. We stayed in Windermere, not a metropolis... but plenty restaurants, pubs and walks to keep us warm!
