Hello again, first Trip out of London and Borough Market

Hello and welcome back :)

I had two amazing weeks back at home and now I'm 'home' again now since two weeks.To be fair I didn't do anything really interesting but my family was moaning at every Christmas meet up about my lack of posts, so now here we go.

Beside that my flight towards London was horrible, because we weren't allowed to start because of the weather conditions and the actually horrible turbulences all the flight long in the air, I was really happy to e back in London by my host family who picked me up at the airport and made a sunday roast dinner for my arrival. It's unbelievable but I really think that L. grew over the time I was away! She is nearly turning 9 this month its unbelievable.All in all the time is flying, I have just 6 months left in London, which is so few time :(

Last weekend the girls and me Isi (https://meinjahrinlondon.wordpress.com/) Fiona (
http://fionasaupairjahr.blogspot.co.uk/) Michelle and Luise met up ( finally after 4 month all together , what a miracle)!
It was the first time we all went with the train outward from London which was quite exciting but everything is so lovely easy with journeys in London. The only thing which wasquite annoying, was, that the ticket machine decided to give us our whole 60 pounds in coins back, because it didn't wanted to print out our tickets. 
But after we sorted everything out we arrived half an hour later in Reading, a nice and small city. It was a lovely day and I really enjoyed being round all this nice girls.

This weekend we ( Luise, Isi and Fiona) went to Borough Market. Borough Market is one of the oldest food markets in London, you can get everything there. It is located next to the London Bridge and the Shard and we just ate a fabulous Brownie. http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borough_Market

The weather is horrible right now it sooooooo cold and it even snowed yesterday morning and it got under minus degrees, hopefully it will be better next week.

See you soon xxx

The last week wasn't really interesting and because I was working 12 hours a day combinde with a lot of fun because L. is off school now. 
We just did nice thimgs, we went into the cinema, we went art crafting and into a pantomime, which was definetly amazing.
Because it's nearly Christmas I'm going home so I will have a 2 week break which I will enjoy in Germany.
I m just at the airport and I'm waiting for my plane to arrive. 
I hope you all have a lovely Christmas time and a even better New Years eve.

Long time no see

Hello everyone :)

First I have to apologize to all of you for my disappearance from the blog but through the move some stuff got mixed up and in the end we had no internet at all over 2 nearly 3 weeks and then when we finally got it, because we payed for someone to fix it, my computer hated the new internet and just refused it but luckily after a week it surprisingly worked again. I have seriously no clue why but it is  better than ever now. Luckily in the time nothing special happened I could write about.
The move  was quite exhausting and my host mum and I worked trough 100000 boxes but the flat looks very homely now and it's very big and it doesn't really feels like living in a flat. I expected it to be harder to live in a flat, because I never lived in one, I expected that it is really hard to have 'your own space' but it completely fine. But I'm still hoping to move with them back into their renovated house, because they told me about their plans and it sounds fantastic. 
My room is the biggest bedroom in the flat, ( lucky me) and it's even more beautiful then my room at home. ( sorry home room). The only thing that's a little bit annoying is, that because it's the biggest bedroom and because its in the oriel, it gets so quick cool but you can fight it with a lot of blankets. It's not that I'm dying of it. All in all my problems are more like 'luxury' ones. When I hear what other Au pairs are going through I just want to hug my hostfamily and thank them for picking me.

Because it's nearly Christmas now, London is made up properly with light decorations and in every shop is Christmas music. I also had a Christmas party at school and luckily I'm off school now, so I have two free school weeks before I'm flying home fro Christmas and new years eve. I'm totally looking forward to it, because I miss my family and friends.

The weather is horribly cold right now, even it is like 5 degrees it feels like minus ten. I have no clue why, but I think it feels so cold, because of the wind and the rain that is constantly around me. 

BUT today was a lovely and sunny day and because we were afraid that this won't happen again me and my friends went for a walk around London to do some sunny pictures. The light was just perfect.

I hope you can enjoy the advents time, even if you are in a busy city like London.

Lot's of love and see you soon

Karma loves me !

Hello my dearest readers!

I'm sorry for the lack of writing posts and blogging but I was quite ill the whole week I had  off, so I didn't did anything awesome which is worth to talk about.
But I'm better now and because my hostfamily is the best and at the 5 of November the British people are celebrating the Guy Fawkes Night ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy_Fawkes_Night ), they took me out to a big country club with a huge firework.
The Guy Fawkes Night is a kind of cruel tradition in Britain. Guy Fawkes was a catholic who wanted to blow up the Parliament when it became protestant. But his plans got discovered and in the end he had to burn. To show that Britain is against 'terrorist' and people who want to blow up the parliament they burn on the 5 of November a puppet, which is dressed like Guy Fawkes and they are making a huge firework.
So my hostfamily took me to a huge firework and before this  we went to eat with the grandparents, who are also very lovely. 
The fireworks were amazing and there was also a huge fire show and me and my 'child' were totally amazed. 
Like I told in the beginning I was quite sick, so I went this days to the doctor and I have to say the British health system is different to the German, but it's not as horrible as I thought it is supposed to be. I just had to register and I saw the doctor after 10 minutes of waiting. She was very kind  and I got finally something against a quite permanent sore throat
Today was like the best day because I firstly received a parcel from my mum ( THANK YOU I LOVE YOU! ) with my favorite stuff ever :) 
And also I just entered a competition on Facebook just for fun to win 2 Tickets for my Favorite Band 21 Pilots who are playing a sold out concert in London. 
AND OMG I JUST WON! 
I received today TWO TICKETS AND THEIR CD!
I can' t even describe how happy I am. Today was amazing. 
This weekend will be quite a harsh one because we are moving houses but I think everything will turn out well.
So here are some pictures like everytime and I hope you are feeling well, because in Britain the horrible time when everyone aroundyou  is ill ( tube, school, train, shops literally EVERYWHERE) had begun and I hope I'm not getting ill again.
See you soon, 
xx Pauli

Street Art Photobomb

Hello my dearest readers :)
because it's half-term now I'm having a week of, which is incredibly nice. NO SCHOOL ( yeah, finally) and no work for me :)
The nicest part of that is, that you can visit all the tourists things early or late in the week, so there are not so many tourists. 
This is why I went with some friends ( Luise, Victoria and Theresa) discovering the Street Art Area around Shoreditch. There are lots of Graffitis of very famous Street Artist like Bansky (  http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banksy ) and ROA ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ROA_(artist) ) .
Because I'm always carrying around my DLR camera, I took a lot of pictures. 
So here they are, enjoy them, 
It's hard to make a picture which captures the complete beauty of the piece of art but I tried it and I hope you can get an idea of why I think they are beautiful.
See you soon, 
Pauli xxxx
