1. Chav's. Britains New Ruling Class. Ade reckons we were probably Chav's in our youth (well, he might've been).
2. The grass is not necessarily greener. I feel a bit displaced, actually. Living here I often think wistfully of 'home'. Being back, I think longingly of my place here. Home is now, it seems, somewhere in the middle of the Atlantic.
3. Reminded that my house in Canada is awesome compared to housing in the UK.
4. House prices in England have gone absolutely doolally and we'll never ever be able to afford to live anywhere near the South East again unless we win the lottery.
5. Walking in England is far more enjoyable than walking in Canada.
6. London Buses are amazing compared to 3 years ago, it is now 'the' way to get around town.
7. Bugaboo Strollers are almost NOC when walking down Kings Road beside 3 million other Bugaboo Strollers.
8. The London Eye rocks and I can't think why we never went up it sooner (despite sharing a pod with a Chav).
9. Food in England is vastly superior to food in Ontario.
10. I miss my family.
Posted by katie at October 30, 2004 10:28 AMWhilst I am not family - I miss you lot. I was saying to my mate Lizzy the day after H's Christening, that I wished that you four lived over here so that we could hang out again.
