There is a growing tendency to move away from the hustle and noise of big cities, and large areas in the countryside are now being swallowed up by ‘urban sprawl’. The saying ‘An Englishman’s home is his castle’ is well-known and it illustrates the desire for privacy. A large detached house not only ensures privacy, it is also a status symbol. When surrounded by garden, it gives the required feeling of rural life. Many Londoners, if they can afford it, move to expensive riverside apartment blocks, which continue to grow in popularity.

taste. What can compare with fresh pees or new potatoes just boiled and served with butter? Why drown spring lamb in wine or cream and spices, when with just one or two herbs it is absolutely delicious? If you ask foreigners to name some typically English dishes, they will probably say "Fish and chips" then stop. It is disappointing, but true that, there is no tradition in England of eating in restaurants, because the food doesn't lend itself to such preparation. English cooking is found at home. So it is difficult to a good English restaurant with a reasonable prices. In most cities in Britain you'll find Indian, Chinese, French and Italian restaurants.

started my university. Please accept my sincere apologies for not writing sooner but I've been so busy I really haven't had a suitable opportunity. I managed to find a nice place to live. It's a small flat just around the corner from the university. I'm sharing the flat with a girl called Anita who seems really nice and has been here for a year. I have become familiar with my surroundings and have been practising my Spanish, which is _improving considerably every day . I hope to return home for Christmas once the examinations are over. It will be wonderful to see everyone again. I do get homesick, you know. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
