My Heart is With You

I'm back home. In my room.

People say that home is where the heart is. My heart is with you. And so, my home is where you are.

I miss you and I love you very much, hubby! Hope to see you again soon...

Early Days

Day 1, Coventry:

Hubby picked me up at the airport :D

We went around Coventry city centre and headed back home. Had dinner with hubby and the housemates and also a few games of mahjong after.

Day 2, Birmingham:

We went to Bullring in Birmingham today. Lots of shops but only bought a Longchamp bag and it's not even for myself. Not time to spend my money yet. So we just went around window shopping for about 5-6 hours.

We had lunch at Homemade Burgers. At least that's what I think it's called. Good, yummy burger but kindda wished it was served slightly warmer. We also went to the wet market in between shopping at Bullring. Andrew suggested we have oysters. At first I thought we were gonna buy them home to eat. But apparently we were going to have them eaten fresh, and that means raw oysters! :( Was kindda put off it a bit at first as I'm not a big fan of raw food. But after a little persuasion, I gave it a try. Had the first one with a bit of lemon juice and tabasco sauce. I thought it was weird to have tabasco sauce with oyster but it actually tasted really good :) Then I had a second one, this time without the sauce just to taste the difference and I ended up liking the former more.

New experiences today in terms of food for me. One was eating BURGER with KNIFE and FORK. And second was eating RAW OYSTERS. So far, these experiences were good! Hoping for more good experiences here during my slightly-over-two-weeks-stay in UK.
