Well yesterday (Sunday) was not our most active day of the week. The 7th day was meant for resting and that we did. We did have a visit from Sophie, a Belgian who stayed when she came to Leicester via KdG, and had loads of fun. She also told us that we went to the wrong neighbourhood. Too explain a little: the day before Tanja, Ann and I were really active wanted to dance and we easily convinced Natalia, Evi and Lindsay to come with us. So we decided to go dancing. We went to the Revolution that was in the Paki neighbourhood and it was a very special cultural experience. Hence the little tip from Sophie.
The rest of the day we did nothing. We had a big dinner with loads of calories. I've decided I love warm applecake with custard (vloeibare warme pudding voor onze Belgen). Anne, Claire, Little Dan, James, Scott, Molly and Dave were there and our group as well. Dan performed a little magic trick which was quite nice but it backfired if he had no audience (or nobody to help the bal disappear). I really like little Dan. I will try and upload the video of the trick later (might be on facebook though).
Today, Monday, we decided to go to Stratford, the birthplace of William Shakespeare, and have a cultural day. It was quite nice. I loved the Elisabethan feel of the town. We did visit his grave, his birthhouse (kind of) and a spooky house on the main street. At the spooky house I had loads of laughs with Natalia, who needed MY manly support, and Ann. We also had a small Harry Potter moment where you could be sorted by the sorting hat himself. Apparently I am Slytherin which doesn't surprise me if you know my favourite person in the card game is Draco Malfoy.
We went past Borders, a really big book shop, on our way. I hope to see it somewhere although I have decided to buy only 5 books because both my luggage as my budget won't be able to handle anymore.
In the evening we had Sophie and her parents over for dinner. That was really really fun. We had loads of fun and off course Molly's dinner is absolutly scrumptious. I have decided to stop eating because all the trousers I brought from Belgium (all 3 of them) are to small for me. I barely gained weight and still I've become sort of Shamu already. Just terrible!
Tomorrow we are going to go to Warwick Castle. I am really exited to go and am curious about the experience. I do want to add now that I miss everybody terribly (thanks to your messages via Facebook I know!) and I love my parents and brothers/sisters for their support (both emotionally as financially) and my 2 best friends, Kristel and Farah, who both miss me a lot and I can say the same.
If any of you feel like dropping in even for one day, do so! Leicester is an experience you will never forget!
I'm going to start another book now. I finished one yesterday. Today's flavor is written by S. Kenyon. I can advise G. Showalter to any of you in a romantic mood.
Kisses
Timmy
