English Countryside

If you follow me on Instagram [@yuli_lviv] you already know I'm on the road once again!

My itinerary has been nonstop adventuring in England, Ukraine, England so I haven't had time/Internet to update bloggy but now that I'm settled down (sort of) I'll update you with everything that's been happening in the last x amount of weeks.

The first place Chris and I went to was a little place in the South of England, also known as his home.
I love it here.
Dogs. Horses. Open fields. Meat. Chickens. Family. Fires.
Absolute perfection in my eyes.

My ideal day here would look like this.

1. Arrive. Take a look around at what the lands I have to play on look like.

2. Play with the animals.

3. Gather the food.

4. Prepare the food.

5. Take a walk around the country side, play sticks and feed pheasants while dinner cooks.

6. Have dinner, relax over a game of pool, and watch the sun set over a beautiful landscape.

 

What a perfect, amazing, wonderful day.
Complete change from the busy hustle-bustle of Singapore.
I think people need to be in nature as much as possible.
It can heal you, calm you, help you, teach you. Anything you need in this world for happiness you can find it in nature.
I can do this every single day.

Fish Spa

We recently went to a fish spa. What is a fish spa you ask? It's a place where you go and put your feet/hands into a fish tank and the fish then eat the dead skin/dirt off of your feet/hands.
We loved it! It doesn't just make your skin smoother but it's a half hour of laugh therapy. Depending on how hungry the fish are they'll attack your feet from every which way.
They wiggle in between your toes, slap themselves around, gnaw at the skin (relax, they're tiny fish with no teeth).
We learned a lot of places have communal tanks because it's quite expensive to maintain (GPB $2.50/fish), but the place we went to had individual tanks for everyone and UV lights to kill any bacteria that tries to grow in the tanks.
The best part about this place though were the people running it. The little older lady loved my hair and chatted away to us like we've been there a hundred times, and her son then came in and gave us tips and tricks and shared all sorts of great knowledge with us.
Our feet definitely looked a bit better, but I think this kind of treatment is required on a regular basis to see major improvements. We'll definitely be back.
