The Blog of a Full-Time Working Mum

I had a conversation with some British friends the other day. They wanted to know why I chose to live in the UK (and not somewhere warmer for example)? I had never given it much thought before to be honest... So here they are, the 20 reasons why I love the UK so much: 1- This is where I met my husband and where my kids were born Definitely the #1 on my list. 2- Cupcake-obsessed nation I know this is not exclusively British but the UK is where I discovered these lovely little treats.

Pin the dummy in the baby's mouth game I don't think that it really needs explainin...
