British pastimes

There are many British pastimes that are loved all over the country. Have you ever heard of ‘Keep Calm and Carry On’? Well, this is us “carrying on”. 

We had a second live episode from EastEnders this year (the last one being 2010) for their 40th birthday and, although I won’t spoil it for you, it got all of us raging for different reasons. Let’s just say that there weren’t any mistakes, but they made mistakes. After the episode, me and my mother were both in disbelief. 

After that, I made my second cup of tea of the day. I have been trying to keep it to just one though as my brother likes homemade pancakes, I like smoothies and, on the occasion, we like to eat cereal. Cereal has always been in our household: Coco Pops, Rice Krispies, Sugar Puffs - you name it, we had/have it. A bowl of cereal and a cup of tea. 

One thing I love to do during the week is go to my local café; it’s called Britannia, and it’s run by a family. Me and mum generally go together, and we share a sausage and bacon roll (although I’m not a fan of bacon) and we have our own things too. She has hot water with lemon, and I have a cappuccino, a bowl of ice cream with fruit salad and, to go, a chocolate milkshake. There’s also this other café that we’re considering visiting more in Walthamstow.

Thank you for reading, I hope you enjoyed your half term and please, let me know, what’s your favourite pastime?
