This winter holiday, I flew to England. I haven’t been to England for around two years so I was glad to go back to my home country. The annoying thing about this holiday, or any time I fly to England is that it isn’t really a proper holiday. We normally only go to my grandparents houses and my aunts and uncles houses. Or, we are only there to get English toys and food because it’s better than Swedish stuff and it’s cheaper.
We flew to England on the 26th of December which is also known as Boxing Day. Our plane took of a bit later than five in the evening. It was totally on time which is very good! We left our house at one in the evening then drove over the Oresund’s bridge to Copenhagen airport. Since it was Boxing Day, the airport was almost empty! When we got to the airport, since my dad had booked the flight online with the points he had made from flying on business trips, we clicked on a machine which meant we didn’t have to queue. It was a ‘do it your self’ machine. But when we got to the roller that took your luggage to the airplane, we were in such a rush we had put the green sticky labels on wrong. The whole trip we were worried that our luggage wouldn’t come with us. Luckily, it did come to us in England! On the plane, our seats had been moved to the back of the plane. We were pretty angry; we couldn’t even look out the window because the engine was in the way! My dad said that where he was sitting smelt like toilet!
We landed at Birmingham airport and then hired a car to drive to our first stop, my Fathers mum and dad who lived in Grantham. It was late when we first arrived but we got to open our Christmas presents. I got three presents. The next day I went to see Aladdin on stage. I thought it would be babyish but it was kind of funny. The next day I stayed with my cousins, Holly and Freya. Holly is nine and Freya is five. Freya was so attached to me!
After staying with my dads parents, I went to see my mums Parents. At their house we watched the New Year in London on TV. All the fireworks were on the London eye and the time until New Year was reflected on Big Ben! The fireworks were amazing. Then, on the 2nd of January, I flew back home to Sweden!
Happy 2009!
