Hello! It was a great weekend in London. Thank goodness it was sunny and hot! I didn't have enough time to go to the Sir John Soane's Museum (Neil's recommendation) but I'll go back to London before I leave the UK, so I won't miss it. And Neil is right, it's difficult to find a quiet attraction in London. It's all crowded! As I told you, I've been several times in London, so I'd tried to visit some places that I haven't visited yet. One of them was Greenwich. It's very famous for giving the name to the Greenwich Meridian and Greenwich Mean Time. From the Greenwich park, after going uphill, you have great views of the Queen's house and the National Maritime Museum and behind all that the skyscrapers of Canary Wharf. Here is a picture:

Hello again Paloma. Thanks for your latest blog and for sharing your thoughts about life in the UK compared to Spain. It's always funny to hear how normal things for us Brits seem odd to visitors to this country. However, I can assure you that I don't have a trampoline in my garden and neither does anyone I know. I've never been to Loughborough, but perhaps it's the trampolining capital of the UK.

Hello everybody!
This is my second week in Loughborough and I'm glad to be here, sometimes it's good a breath of fresh air! In this entry I'd like to compare some of the differences I've seen between where I live at the moment and my home in Spain.

Hi Paloma. Thanks for your latest fishy blog. The images really bring it to life.
Welcome (back) to Britain! It's been a very gloomy summer here so far, but the sun has finally come out, so perhaps you brought the weather with you from Spain.

Hello everybody!
In my last blog entry when I said native home museum what I meant was that there is a museum in the same house where Pablo Picasso was born. They tried to show us the house like it was when he lived there. Sorry, I thought it was the right word!
Last saturday I went with my family to a restaurant by the beach to say goodbye to the sun, the nice weather and the Spanish food. I took pictures of everything that we ordered.

Hello Neil and nice to meet you! Thank you for helping me to improve my English. I’m looking forward to going to Brighton. I’ve seen it many times in pictures and on TV and it looks very nice. I’ve heard that it’s similar to London but with sea.

Hi Paloma and welcome to the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Learning English student blog. It's great to meet you. I used to work as an English teacher in Madrid, so it's always a trip down memory lane for me when people describe Spain. I really miss it!

As you were so interested in some topics, now I will present the Hungarian cuisine.
I think that is very hard and the fastidious stomachs perhaps wouldn't support our dishes.
