The Adventures of Sarah and Paul
Dec 9th 2007sarahBritain & Bromley & Life
Out of the UK for three weeks, I’m back now and have already experienced 3 distinctively British things in the last hour.
1. The woman at my corner shop called me “love”
2. I had a nice cup of tea for the first time in three weeks
3. And the weather. Rainy and cold and typically London.
I do have to say it’s good to be back in my own flat – no matter how much I miss the States.

Paul and I finally made our way down to the Partridge the other day. We’ve had drinks in there before, but this time we actually decided to have a proper pub lunch. And it was soooo nice. The menu itself is pretty decent, but I really had my eye on trying one
of their pies. So, instead of trying anything else, we had yummy,
stodgy British pies. I had the steak and ale pie, and Paul had the
shephard’s pie. I do have to say that mine was pretty darn good.
The beer selection isn’t bad, and it’s a little older crowd in there than what’s in the Walkabout next door. We didn’t feel out of place and were able to enjoy a drink in peace. I think we’ll heading back for another sometime soon.

It’s a quiet day today. Raining a bit, and Paul and I are sacked out on the couch watching a movie. But we haven’t been lazy all weekend!
Yes, this afternoon we’re watching Kill Bill Vol. 2. I guess I’m just keeping half an eye on it – not really my thing. So, we had a good weekend here. We had our friend Kevin over this weekend for dinner and a night out. We haven’t had any one over in ages, so it was kinda nice to have someone else around the house for a bit. I made chile for dinner and then made some ice cream, then went out in town here. Bromley’s not that bad to go out in. Best part is that we can walk everywhere. Most pubs are crawling with what seem like really young folks, but we went to a new place called the Partridge where folks seemed more our age. Rather a good night out – good to catch up with Kevin.
Our Sunday here has been pretty lazy. Just bought a paper, did some laundry and now we’re crashed on the couch watching tv. It’s all warm and cozy and it’s nice not having to go anywhere. All the cleaning’s done and we’re just relaxing letting the time pass.
