Things I miss

Today the post is about things I miss.  I’m honest, there are lots of things I miss.  I suppose that’s mostly because I live now on the other side of the world to where I grew up.  Some of the things I miss are silly things, I’ll suddenly get a craving for some kind of food that you can only get back home. Other things that I miss are bigger, much bigger.

My family

One of the biggest things that I miss is my family, I have ‘my’ family here with me, my children that is.  But Mum and Dad and my brothers are on the other side of the world, and that can be very hard. Still, at least we have family over here too, so it’s not all bad.

My friends

I’ve got friends over here in New Zealand, but I do miss my back home friends. Particularly those that I grew up with or went to University with.  I haven’t got a photo with all the university girls in, but there are nine of us in this picture (if you look really closely).  It’s quite a while ago now though, nearly six years in fact.

 

British Pubs

You can’t beat sitting in a British pub, on a Sunday afternoon after a big pub lunch, outside on a sunny day, or a cold winters evening with a roaring fire, there’s just nowhere else like it.  Of course it comes with something else that I miss too, a pint of real ale, proper British bitter. Not cold, not fizzy, just lovely.

As I said, there are heaps of other things that I miss about home, but right now, they are the main ones.
