One thing I love about coming back down to the North of England is the little things you don't really know you are missing until you rediscover them again ( Read more... )

Bleh! I hate you verra much. I want to go home and I want to go on holiday!!!!!!!! (Also, you're going to Egypt? Again? The border control people are going to start recognising you woman.

I miss meat and potato pie. Also, I miss hotpot the way my Mum makes it and the accents! Good God I miss Northern accents, I was doing extremely overdone Northern accent the other day and my flatmates thought I was being funny, actually I was just being nostalgic.

Also, you should read the Wolf House books, gay hot angsty vampires!!!!!!!
(see my post on said subject)

Anyway, off you go, abandon me, for Egypt.

People don't understand meat and potato pie and I just cannot comrehend this. Its a pie, with meat and fucking potato! They stare at me like I am a crazy person for even considering that you add potato to a meat pie.

I nearly hugged the woman in Co-op travel when she gave me my travel money yesterday. She was so nice and so northern.

I may have to bribe my grandma in to making me some rag puddings to take back up with me, along with my usual order of parkin. She is currently making me a steak and mushroom pie for my tea and the smells are mouthwateringly good coming out of the kitchen! And when I get back we are making chocolate cheesecake brownies. I love my grandma ♥

When I was booking the holiday I was talking to the travel agent lady on the phone and she asked me if I had been to Egypt before and I was all yes darling, three times! Although I dont have any of my clever Egyptified books to take on holiday with me; I have two Sookie Stackhouses (trashy vampire fiction for the win, yay!), an Italian murder mystery book and a ( ... )

Your Grandma clearly spoils you.

Meat and potato pie and it's peppery, meaty, potato-y goodness will one day rule the world! I have faith. It's the wrong time of year for parkin though, you have to wait till October. I made some for my rowing team last november, they did not really understand it's glory, except one who said 'oh yes, that's some yorkshire thing isn't it (I coldly informed her I was from Lancashire thank you very much).

I really want to read Sookie Stackhouse books (and watch True Blood), maybe when I am home doing nothing all October.

Grandmama loves me.

I know it is too early, thats why I am getting grandma to make me some.

See I love True Blood now. At first I didn't because it was all slow and you just want to slap Sookie, but now it is awesome because they have realised that Sookie/Vampire Bill is yawny boring and everyone else is much more interesting. (although you totally cannot watch it with parents around, because it has orgies...lots of orgies) Now I am reading the books though it is all wierd. The tv show has to be hands down much better written than the books, but I am kinda loving them, because they are basically trashy love (but badly written).
