UEA International Student Ambassadors

We'd then sit down for our Sunday roast together, at around 1. Unlike most other families I know, my Mum cooks her Sunday dinner early to get it out of the way. And free herself up for the rest of the day, to watch films or catch up with the soaps, and spend some time with my sisters. It was the one day of the week where we'd all be in the house @ the sa

There's apparently going to be a predicted severe weather forecast for most parts of the UK including Norwich. But there's no stopping us for a great night of wine and cheese tasting! Especially when its the start of the month of December and 3 weeks and counting till Christmas!! :)) ISS is holding an ISS Wine and Cheese Night this evening at Kafe Karma at 6.30pm!
