Reflections

Recently I was asked what I think about living in England. First of all, I really like life here. To be honest, it is much better than I expected. People over here are incredibly friendly and it is easy to feel at home. However, there are of course things that I find "different":

1.) it is common to have kids on "leashes/harnesses" - I see at least one a day
2.) there are shopping carts with seats for 2 kids - one infant one toddler - aweseome
3) most grocery stores have only their own brands for a wide range of goods - not only boring but I also wonder how that influences the quality given that competition goes towards 0.
4) I cannot find baby jars containing fish
5) Breast feeding in public is almost a no go - every one seems to transfer the milk to bottles before they leave the house
6) Chips/crisps for lunch
7) Carpet in the bathroom. Who came up with that?
8) Loads of charity stores and events - great
9) Kids get to eat sweets every day, it is almost impossible to avoid it
10) Super nice playgrounds

Mhh, guess my list reflects my mum-life but maybe my other half can come up with more things that have nothing to do with kids. ;)

...and talking about kids: Ida took her first step yesterday!!!
