My mom paid for me to come and visit my sister in England in 2001. There are three very prominent memories of that trip in my mind. And here they are:
It was in the middle of Winter and I remember thinking that I had never been so cold in my life. When I left the airport I felt like the cold had punched me in the chest. Angela had brought a spare coat for me to borrow and I was very grateful!
Then when we were driving back from the airport I couldn't believe how dirty all the cars were. I later found out that it is because of the salty mixture that they put onto the roads to prevent ice from building up. Then I couldn't believe that these people don't wash their cars, I mean it's not that much of a job. (PS. My car was filthy this Winter because it's too cold for me to go out and wash my car)
The third memory is of all the moss. I love moss, in fact I tried to grow a moss garden in my mom's garden as a little girl. There was moss everywhere, on the pavement, on the road, on the walls, on the roofs, I think if you sat down for long enough the moss could grow on you!
Last night I was looking out of our window at another beautiful sunset and noticed the moss on our roof and had all those memories flooding back. It was a great holiday, thanks Ange for always being so hospitable.
