I have been back in the UK now for nearly a month, and I am so sorry for the silence on my part! I have been really relishing being home, spending time with my family, and relaxing.
I have absolutely adored being back in the UK again. I think Britain is seriously underrated! I am really enjoying seeing everywhere with new eyes. All of our buildings are beautiful and full of character - even the ones I would have deemed unattractive before leaving, I now realise are unique and quite quaint, when compared to domestic buildings on a global scale. The countryside we have is truly superb, and can compete, easily, with anywhere else in the world, with only a very few exceptions. And, the biggest relief, Britons are not rude! I worried that we were when I was travelling in America, but I am pleased to say that on the whole we are a friendly and considerate group, and our customer service is pretty good.
I absolutely love being able to chat to everyone and anyone, they all speak my language! I also know all the rules, so have been striking up conversations with strangers at every opportunity, which has been really nice.
Anyway I could go on at some length, about how much I love Britain, but will not do so. I fear that it will undermine what a truly wonderful journey I have had. And I also don't wish to alienate anyone!
Tonight I have spent several enjoyable hours trying to sort out my many many photographs - and you will be very glad to hear that you have already seen most of the best! So I won't have to bore you with many more.
I am doing my best to visit people, and catch up, but feel free to email me, as I won't get to see everyone before I return to Austria at the end of August.
Any suggestions of what to do with five volumes of handwritten journal and about a million photographs, gratefully received!
