My last few days have been so much less touristy... lovin it!!
One thing that I have so enjoyed which I did not mention in the last posts are the accents. They are different all over the place and I have been blessed to hear 3 specific ones ... London... Derby... Sheffield... Sheffield being the farthest north is the roughest sounding one. I can find it difficult to understand and can need my friend to translate for me. She also has to translate the other way round though.
quick story: In London before we went to the Theatre to watch Blood Brothers we had a quick tea (dinner). When they asked what I wanted to drink I said Water... the waitress had to ask 3 times and finally Sarah stepped in and said it as well... when I wanted a refill it was another guy and it was just as difficult, I gave up after the first what and pointed to my friend Sarah... we all had a good laugh!
It is an interesting thing to not be understood by those who speak English. Hee hee.
I am off to Poland in the morning. It may be a few days before I write again.
