"The biggest change is the timetables. People eat far later in Spain and spend more time outside. During the winter, it’s practically night-time at 3:30pm here, which was a shock. You hardly get time to make the most of the day. I drink the occasional cup of tea now as well but I must admit I’m still more of a coffee person. Now and then I have an English pint too - not as often as some people, but every now and then. It takes some getting used to: they’re huge compared to Spanish beers. But you’ve got to embrace British culture, haven’t you?!"
