My Simple Wyoming Life

Well I extended our stay in the UK til mid Dec instead of flying back earlier this month, this was done so our son and I could spend more time with my husband and I could get the stuff I really wanted for when we were back in Wyoming i.e warm clothes,some food items etc. Plus any gifts for the kids for Hanukkah/Christmas from my husband’s side of the family.

Now I am going to say at this point visiting the UK is ok but I really don’t miss living here. The traffic along with the high volume of poor drivers I most definitely do not miss at all and I sure as hell don’t miss all the bloody sirens that are a constant it feels. Plus the local council has decided that adding a large industrial unit plus 200+ homes and a new Aldi store was not enough of a strain for the main road here in the village, they have decided to add at least another 50 homes and another industrial unit. Not to mention the Aldi’s have decided to make units much like the freezer sections but for the fresh produce, what that means is it’s a pain in the backside to get any produce when you have loads of people standing around with their frickin shopping carts in front of the blasted doors and won’t move the bloody things! To me it’s honestly the dumbest damn thing I have seen just to save a little bit of cash because less energy used but I can only flinch at how bad it must be when they need to stock those units and they have a rush of people wanting to get into the units to grab a cucumber or a cabbage while someone else just wants to get around them and bam you get a traffic jam. Just thinking about that gives me a headache just thinking about it!

Since I have moved Wyoming I have found some food items I like (compared to the UK) are the same price or even cheaper with a quick comparison of price. I will admit I do miss the UK version of salt and vinegar chips as they just taste better and I will fight people on this. I don’t miss the lack of choice with juice or even soda here in the UK as since the UK passed the sugar tax pretty much every place that makes drinks have replaced sugar with sweeteners which are now being showed to be worse for you then sugar, gee really? Go figure chemically combined or derived sugar like substance would be bad. Besides I can’t drink anything with those in it (save for Stevia leaf) as they leave a gross taste in my mouth, give me a headache and just make me ill. I do not allow my kids to drink these unless there is no other options which thankfully has rarely happened while living here.

So hopefully I’ll be able to post a better blog post that is not so much of a rant next month or at the latest Jan. But thank you for reading my little rant and I hope to give y’all a better post in the coming weeks, have a great day,week and month!
