1. Yorkshire Tea: Every morning when I was in England I would have a cup of Yorshire Tea. It is basically black tea but it is oh so good. The English like to add milk and sugar which makes this feel like a treat instead of just a boring cup of brew. I would have up to 3 glasses of this stuff in one day so when I was headed home (to Florence) I decided to bring some with me. :)
2. Home Cooked English Meals: Vicky's mother was a sweetheart. In fact, I fell in love with both of her parents. Anyway, one of my favorite memories will always be what Mrs. Milne made for dinner. She would come home from work and still cook and set the table. She's like superwoman. :) My favorite dishes were the Yorshire Pudding, the lamb, and the sausage and mash. But seriously, every meal she cooked was delicious.
3. Topshop: So we have a few Topshops in the US- nowhere near me- but this was my first time going to one. I was excited because I heard they had the cutest clothes. Sure enough they did! Poor Vicky I wanted to spend hours in the store! Really. I loved their shoes and dresses the most. I was disappointed at the bra sizing because they don't cater to women with bigger breasts and they had the cutest bras! :/ I ended up getting a cute little backpack and a dress. :) I will go back one day. If not in England then in the US.
4. Scenery: England was more beautiful than I had expected. Of course since it always rains the grass is bright green and the trees are tall and wide. It was nice to get a change from the Italian scenery. Half the fun of traveling was the car ride going somewhere just looking at the beautiful hills, fields and trees.
5. Cadbury Chocolate: We might have Cadbury Chocolate in the states but this was the first time I tried it. IT WAS SOOO GOOD. I'm taking this home to share with you all but you have no idea how hard it has been not opening it!
