So been about 6 weeks since I last posted, since then there has been elections in Israel, various films have come out in the cinema and as I write I'm in the last afternoon of my 2 and a half week holiday to the UK.
Its my first time leaving the country in 2 years, I was last in the UK for Passover 2017 and since then I haven't traveled around. I definitely should travel more.
So I arrived slightly delayed on the eve of Passover, did mean couldn't do a lot during the first week. Still it was nice to have the Seder at home with my folks and sister. Also went to the Synagogue my Dad frequents in Manchester and it was nice that I got a call up as a visitor to the Synagogue.
For the rest of the Passover week it was mostly quiet, I did get to see friends visiting family who live here in Manchester and got to play Crazy Golf and chat with them after. I finished last in the Crazy Golf, but did get a hole in 1 for the last one :-). After that it was a relatively quiet week, went to the cinema at the end of the week for the Avengers film and then went for the weekend in London where I got to see friends who I haven't seen for many years. Was nice to see them and to also meet their kids who I hadn't met before. After that it was dinner with a friend and lunch with other in Golders Green, before back to Manchester.
The 2nd week was slightly busy, I did get through to the old hometown of Hull and hang with a friend and his nephew. We walked round the City and it was nice to see some of the changes due to it being the City of Culture in 2017. We also went bowling which was fun, even though I think we all kind of sucked at it LOL.
After that most of my travelling around was confined to the local area and I managed to get my authentic English Fish and Chips :-). The parents also introduced me to the local Kosher Pizza place by the name of Mozzarella which had really nice pizza :-).
Other than that its been a little bit of shopping and some food goodies to bring back. I think I have enough chocolate to keep me going for a couple of months.
Anyway time to kick back and relax, tomorrow will be a long day of travelling and then Tuesday is back to the reality that is work, although I'm only in the office Tuesday and a few hours on Wednesday due to Memorial Day and Israel Independence Day which will make the transition back to normal life a little easier
Should add a little addendum... at a local Kosher restaurant, enjoying a nice meal with the family and Tommy Robinson walks in... quick way to lose your appetite and there were no milkshakes around ;-).
