This was England

Went early last morning to see a middle-age village. I'm so used taking the train/bus everywhere so it was pretty nice going by car! Went to see Arundel and the castle within the village. Gary who I went with, said it was his favorite village so I was expecting the best;) In the first section it was really....middle age. With cold rooms and hole in the walls. But then we came to the later colonial-style-section. And oh my. I could live there! Satin on the walls, different patterns everywhere. But the best part: the library. They had a library with an indoor balcony and a ladder. My most important rooms will be kitchen, bathroom and library! One room for everything. No living room. A salon, library, room with the bar(every house need a room for drinking), and a room with a projector for movies/television. I'm thinking all in style with colonial-1930's-England.

Arundel is kind of a 'touristy' village with lots of souvenirs and cafes. Went to the Tudor Rose and had the classical Ploughmans. A salad consisting of either stilton/cheddar or brie with some crust bread, iceberg salad, cucumber, tomatoes, pickled onions, some sort of pickles(reminded of chutney) and beet-root. Talking of beet-roots, according to Jamie Oliver in his programme about Sweden we're mad about beet roots.......

Only time I have beet roots is maybe when having oven-roasted vegetables. Ridiculous Jamie. I have no respect for you anymore!

So today I've been showing Liesa -the new au pair- around and giving her some tips. And tonight the family is taking me, the cleaner and Liesa for a goodbye-dinner. Looking forward to pizza express!!!

But I'm kind of worried how I will be able to stuff all my things in my bag... No worries about the weight, but the place:S
