Things we'll miss about England...

The wonderful friends we've made

Amazing old buildings everywhere

Squirrels!

Wensleydale with Cranberries (the best cheese ever!)

Being close enough to London that we could pop in for a visit at the drop of a hat

Ridiculously cheap flights (best one - AUD $35 for both of us to go to Ireland and back in April)

PUDZ Heavenly Chocolate Pudding and PUDZ Sinfully Sticky Toffee Pudding (click here for website)

Being close to Europe!!!!

London's West End and cheap www.lastminute.com theatre deals

Gorgeous countryside everywhere

Innocent smoothies (click here for website)

Interesting pub names!

"Mind the gap" and "mind the closing doors, mind the closing doors"!

Narrow picturesque little country lanes that hardly have room for two cars to pass

200g blocks of chocolate being cheaper than they are in Australia (and thus being able to justify eating more of them)

The EuroTunnel

Black cabs and red buses

Gourmet Burger Kitchen (click here for website)

Little rock walls (Ireland and northern England)

The possibility of another incredible British Christmas dinner like the one we had last year!! (click here for blog entry)
