It’s easy to feel that I am at Home because I had the best English parents. Among other things, I met them in Minsk, Belarus ( my motherland ) in May. They were invited to visit Minsk by Irisha who is my lovely friend. She was really struck a wonderful time spent with Nick and Lois. So Irisha strongly advised to come to Folkard’ family. You can read Irisha’s review here ➡️ http://www.livingenglishreviews.com/wonderful-three-weeks-in-tockwith-7/. I can say that my friend was absolutely right! I tried a lot of traditional and just very tasty food like salads, gooseberry pie, Indian food like curry, Chinese food, pasta and so on. My teacher was Nick and I assure you as well as a master cooker he is a nice skillful teacher. He improved my speaking: when we had a conversation in Minsk I couldn’t speak with him and was becoming sweaty but now it’s much better deal.
Tockwith is located near York – the town of Yorkshire. I hadn’t known that it’s a motherland of KitKat!! I had a chance to make my own chocolate. York is a very beautiful city with a lot of historical places. Also we visited an aircrafts museum that was interesting because they have some exhibits where you can sit and push different buttons. It was the first time when I was eating fish and chips. Before we were in a Go Ape climbing on the trees and slid down zip wire.
Everything I shared with my new friend from Santander, Spain Luis. His is a funny boy. We got on well together and found a lot of things in common. I think we will be forever friends and whenever meet again.
The main activity was cycling. I did about 500km in 4 weeks! Luis and me joined North Yorkshire Cycling club.
The house is very comfortable and also Nick and Lois have the best garden I’ve ever seen. I think that I found my role model of ideal garden.
We are going to keep our bonds and make them closer.
