I loved reading this post, Lena! I thought things wouldn’t be that much different moving from the US to the UK being as we both speak English, so I was surprised at even the little things that were so different. It’s so interesting to hear your perspective as someone from Germany! I think one thing I picked up from living there was becoming obsessed with the weather! And I wish I would’ve seen Cambridge in the snow. All the pictures are so beautiful.
Thank you Kelly! That’s interesting to hear, I always thought if people speak the same language it can’t be so difficult to move countries.
Cambridge in the snow is pretty indeed but we actually had a lot this year for English standards, so I’m glad it’s finally spring!
