The bits we missed the most


Family & friends. Our cat, Lucy (pictured).
Terry Wogan. Sarah Kennedy. The BBC. Janet & John. Our coffee machine. Buildings older than 1900AD. The National Trust. Canals. Central heating. Rolling green hills. London. H&M (Emma). SQUIRRELS!!!
That lovely feeling you get when you climb into your "own bed"...
Oh, and Cadbury's chocolate. We knew they made Cadbury's at a genuine Cadbury factory in Dunedin on the South Island of NZ so we took a detour and visited. There are three Cadbury factories worldwide - Birmingham (visited many times); Dunedin (have now been there) and Tasmania (now on our to do list)...
The thing is, even though it really is Cadbury, they have to change the recipe (a) for local taste and (b) because it has to be able to tolerate the sometimes much higher temperatures over there, so they have to reduce the melting temperature.
It wasn't really Cadbury as we know and love it though....
