The UK landscape is absolutely gorgeous. Pretty much anywhere you are, you can see green spaces (maybe not in London and other built up cities), but up North where I am, you could be in the roughest area and still see fields of green in the distance. I often think that we take it for granted because we’re so used to it.

The pork pie is okay. The water crust pastry on the outside of a Melton Mowbray is the best pastry in my opinion, however, the meat is quite densely packed in. They are also often filled with ‘jelly’ around the meat and some people are put off by that. The flavour is nice though. In my house, we tend to have them at parties as part of a buffet, or part of a picky tea.. which is when it’s sunny, instead of cooking, you have a salad with lots of extra bits such as scotch eggs, mini cocktail sausages, pickles, sandwich meats, even leftover freezer bits like mozzarella sticks etc.

I would urge you to visit more than just London if you come to the UK. Scotland and Wales are beautiful, so is the north of England and Northern Ireland. We have great transport links, although people do moan about them and trains can be quite expensive, but if you have the money, many beautiful places are accessible via public transport.
