Hello there everyone!
As most of you know I’m just back from my trip to the UK. We had a great time, visited a couple of nice places, one of which was York City which is not on everyone’s to do list is a lovely old city in northern England with a lot of history in tact and if you happen to have kids who like Harry Potter then it is a paradise for them.
But never mind the sightseeing, today we must talk about the pub! Pubs are definitely one of the best ways to enjoy real British culture. They have changed a lot over the years, a long time ago, women weren’t even allowed in them but now they are very family friendly and smoke free, the selection of beers is huge now and I’m sure this will be a big shock to you, the food is excellent. They are probably the best place to try traditional British food which is really nice when done properly.
If you want to get a feel for British life, then visit the pub, in the countryside is better than in the city, they are used as a place for socialising, having lunch, holding business meetings, to bring your family on a Sunday and you can even bring your dog. On weekdays you will often find elderly people there too, they use it like a kind of community centre.
The old countryside pubs usually have a long history and the buildings can be really old and beautiful too.
I want to go back! The sooner the better!
Jaimie
