hello from westcliff

I moved to Uk a year ago to Westcliff and I am just super lonely and homesick around the holidays.  i lived in Essex one time before from 2008-2010.  I decided to move back but I am just waiting to get through the holiday feelings.

what do others do when you are feeling homesick for the Usa and you are in the middle of Essex?

I order in some Cinnabon.  I am campaigning for them to open a branch in the Royals.  London is too far to get my fix of gooey deliciousness.  And then I drown my sorrows in some Rossi's.  Truly delicious ice cream!

I got ridiculously excited when I saw this, as I didn't know they sold online!  Nipped over to their website and started to register, and then I saw it...

'Sorry we are unable to deliver to Scotland and Northern Ireland'.

Oh no!  I'm sorry to get your hopes up!  Hopefully they'll expand.

Southend doesn't have a ton of US shops or restaurants.  There's KFC and McDonalds but those have been pretty anglicized.  Mrs Simms' Sweet Shop has some American candy and soda.  Otherwise it's a trip to Lakeside (which also has a Cinnabon  ).

Honestly, I've been getting through the holiday with McDonalds and American television! Lots of marathons of the Big Bang Theory and the Simpsons, just to hear those lovely American accents.

When I first went to KFC in the US I was shocked they didn't offer chips! I do love their Mashed Potatoes and Gravy though and I suppose the potato wedges are a bit like chips.

I had an American friend who absolutely hated the McDonalds in England. Thought it tasted awful.
