Home sweet home

I have been in Kettering a little over a month now and I can honestly say that I think I picked the right place to call home. It is super British with old churches everywhere, it has a gorgeous park, a public library, a cemetery and a dance studio. I am kind of in love with this little town. The few people I have met are absolutely lovely and the guy who teaches the dance class I go to has a peter pan tattoo. talk about fate people. I think it is interesting though to see how much my culture clashes with those here. I mean when I lived here a few years ago I didn't see that much difference in worlds except for the amount that people drank. but since moving into a place that isn't student based I have realized how different England is to America. My first week here I made my neighbor cookies to say thank you for being so welcoming and she cried. Apparently baking things for your neighbors is a Utah thing. It makes me smile when people are so blown away by me helping them, even with the smallest tasks like helping them find a book at Waterstones or saying have a great day as I am leaving a shop. My kind heartedness will melt these cold british hearts just give it time.
