We loved it enough to move here permanently. I think back to what we had in England, and there is just no comparison. I have space, I have a pool and spa, and I have a huge kitchen. I have the sun most days, I have wonderful neighbors, my children love the schools, and for once my daughter who was failing in the UK schools is now excelling and a Grade A student. What do I miss in England? Well I miss Salad Cream. And that’s all. What more can I say??????[msnsmile2]

Oh how I wish I could say all those things!![msnsad]

It's cold, grey and windy here.

No pool just a very cold pond, well at least it's not frozen. A sink that I've just had to unblock! I did have salad cream on my noodles this evening tho'![msnwink]

Lived on Cl for 5 years. Which schools are your kids in as we had the opposite, my kids were faiing to sayn the least as they were not anywhere as challenging as UK schools. They were always getting into trouble through classroom boredom (they do the same thing every day). Back in the UK the difference is amazing they are doing well again.
We miss sun sun sun and Louisiana hot sauce!!!!
You can buy salad cream, cant remeber where exactly buts its either publix or the UK shop in Old Town.
Tell Dominick the security gaurd that Martin sends his regards.

What sort of business did you buy? You can get salad cream in the ethnic section of the Publix stores or at least the ones near the western end of 192 where I shop. It isnt cheap but as I still buy Branston at over $4 a jar, so treat yourself,

its similar to mayonaise creamy tangy sauce you pour over salad vegetables, i.e lettuce,tomatoes, beetroot,, its off white in colour some have it on fries, and in sandwiches[msnwink]
normally on raw veggies that you eat
