The Trip Home & A Pub Lunch in Malvern
Well after missing my connecting flight and being stuck in Dubai airport for a grand total of 10 hours, I finally made it home, trip time around 25 hours..
Let's just say I was pretty tired, but not too bad as I got leg room on both flights, yay!
The second one was surprisingly empty, but I guess everyone in UK is leaving to go on holiday in August not yet coming back.
The skies were beautifully blue and it was a nice pleasant smooth journey.
It was a bit grey in Birmingham when I landed but by the time I got up the next day it was gloriously blue and lovely.
There were still some flowers out, and I spotted a bee playing in the garden, ah to have a macro lens..
From my Mom's garden.
I decided it would be nice to head up the Malvern hills as it was a pleasant day, not too hot and not too cold.
We stopped for lunch at a traditional English pub that had a 2 for 1 offer on.
It's called the crown and has a pretty old design, and pretty flowers!
I had Gammon steak with both pineapple and egg!
And Mom had a rather delicious chicken tikka salad, chicken tikka is after all the national dish of England.
After lunch we headed for an 8km trek up the Malvern Hills..this was at the foot.
More later...up the top!

The English are not famed for their food, but I liked the general atmosphere of life there during my 5 year stay there.

pinolobu: Well many Asians find English food bland, and England as such doesn't have an eating out culture, so to find the really good food you have to eat in people's homes. Then you'll find fantastic food, fish and chips is ok now and then and the rest of the takeaway food is Indian or Chinese.

25 hours ? gosh....that'll kill me for sure. be too tired to eat after that
Using
england doesn't have an eating out culture....*snigger*
