One Year and Counting
Today is the one year anniversary of our arrival in the UK. In honour (notice that is spelled with a U) of this glorious occasion, I have decided to create a top 5 list of the good and bad things about living in the UK. You would get 10 but I just got back from the pub and that would require way too much thought.
Top 5 good things about living in the UK.
1. The Beer
2. Proximity to other places
3. The weather (when it's good, it's really good)
4. The landscape and countryside (if I ever get around to publishing the pictures of Scotland and the Peak District you can see for yourself)
5. Being within walking distance of 20+ pubs
Top 5 bad things about living in the UK
1. The customer service (or lack thereof)
2. The roads (a small accident can create hours of traffic back ups - they don't believe in shoulders here, they also don't believe in the grid system)
3. The weather (when it's bad, it's miserable)
4. Sports (I have resorted to watching football (soccer))
5. 17 hours of darkness in the Winter (some might argue that the 17 hours of daylight in the summer should be a good thing and counter act the bad part, unless you actually like to sleep)
Looking forward to seeing all of you in another 12 months.
Cheers,
Yankee
