The weekend of the 5-6th August saw a visit from our friends Mathieu and Monica! Mathieu is the brother of my “French Exchange” friend Emmanuel and he’s currently doing something with soil at Nottingham University (I think it’s a PHD!). Monica and Mathieu were living in Mexico prior to coming to the UK in the first part of this year (Monica is Mexican).

We had a very gastronomic weekend - Juliet and I decided that Mathieu and Monica needed to experience the best of British food, so a full English breakfast on Saturday, a cream tea on Saturday afternoon and a Sunday roast! I think they went home not needing to eat for another week. Mathieu also cooked us some traditional and delicious Mexican food on the Saturday evening.

On Saturday afternoon we took a trip up the Long Mynd:

I also took some video footage (you made need the Adobe Flash plugin to view this) of Mathieu interacting with native British sheep! Thank you both for a fantastic weekend!
