In my more introspective moments, I often wonder what I will miss about the UK when my wife and I head on to our next destination. I have concluded it is the little, almost insignificant things that would be potentially most memorable. A quick shortlist would have to include:
- Walks by the canal running through my neighbourhood on a reasonably balmy evening (not many in this part of the world).
- Boscaiola olives and granary bread from my favourite deli – the Barbakan Delicatessan in Chorlton-cum-Hardy.
- Match of the Day, a round-up of the weekend’s English Premiership football action on BBC1 and BBC2. (No one breaks it down quite like Gary Lineker, Adrian Chiles, Alan Shearer & co!)
- And so on and so on…

Gagisa – LOL – if you know what’s good for you then start making your way to Chorlton…
