Lucy May,
I'm sharing with my nugs about life in the United Kingdom. Today, I'm thinking about our transition over the past several months. The phrase, 'Bloom where you are planted,' comes to mind. Your 'mum' is the best at doing just that. We came over here six months ago with just a few suitcases. Thanks to her ability to make a home, we are settled in Richmond and starting to meet some new friends.
Cathy has fully stocked our tiny British kitchen with cutlery, plates, pots, and pans. She somehow managed to cook a large turkey in a small oven and feed no less than 16 at Thanksgiving! Grocery shopping is a daily task, as we walk back and forth and only bring home what we can carry by hand. It is a simpler life in that regard.
Many foods have different names, and brands are not what you would see in America. Check out this list of 56 Food-Related Word Differences Between Britain and the US.
May I have some fizzy water and pass the digestives, please?
Love you,
Dad
P.S. It's Woman Power Wednesday! Who was the first Woman Power Wednesday?
