English Life

Day 47: Tuesday
I woke up surprisingly early, but I didn’t actually get up until around noon. It was nice to finally be able to relax and sleep. When we finally did get up, it was time for English breakfast! Finally! Beans and toast and eggs, so delicious! Nomnomnom. After breakfast it began to rain, so we hung out in the cottage the rest of the day. Gladly, we had internet. The Bell family taught me how to dip things in my tea, but I dropped my first digestive in :( For dinner we went down to the pub, and I had a jacket potato with cheese and beans, but it was way too big for me to finish. After dinner we went for a walk around Carisbrooke, and they showed me a ford, which to me seemed to be just a flooded road that cards drive over. After the walk, we started Lost in Austen, then it was time for bed.
