Cultural Experiences. Brummies and the Bavarians.

I am from the middle of nowhere. Imagine a tiny country village with houses, cows and a bus stop with a bus that comes every hour. Then imagine that but more remote, and that is South Horrington. Yep google it, it’s just houses. Culture to me was any big city, some new people and a Read More
