At the age of 14 years I discovered, while spending a three-weeks-holiday in England, my passion for the island on the other side of the channel. Not a single prejudice, which is current circulated, could withstand: The weather wasn't already more bad, then in Germany; the people we met, were very kindly; the English kitchen is great and the country is very nice. Of course the metropolis London doesn't reflect the typical England. When a foreigner stays the first time in Germany and he visit only Berlin, he won't know the typical Germany. Just the experiences in the interior will bring the right impressions as well about the local people and theire life, and the atmosphere of the different places of the frequented country as well. |

It all started with an one-year-stay of my mother as an au-pair-girl, when she was 21 years old. About 20 years later, in the year 1978, she contacted her hostfamily again. the reaction of the advertisement, that we wanted to visit them, was indescribable. That was the beginning of a tender friendship between two familys. So more holidays in England followed the first one. Each of them we stood in the lovley Southwest in Cornwall. As well our English friends visited us. Every single meeting with them was an unique occurrence. The legend says, that the reason for the idea to travell to England was my bad English mark at school. So I'm greatful untill today to my English teacher, that I've didn't got a better mark. Otherwise probably I never came to England. Thanks a lot! ;-) |
