Happy House: British English Level 2 - Stella Maidment

A jewel in the English crown..... Chatsworth House

Advantages: History so well preserved, grand, homely
Disadvantages: None at all

in ``wow'' mode. Well i was and still am when I talk to people about my visit there or show them the hordes of photos. I had picked it out of a special visit offer in a Britain stately homes type book: a two for the price of one deal, so we set out from London to visit it on our way to Chester. On the map the two looked quite close but in reality you would need to visit early in the day to see a good deal of what makes Chatsworth House memorable. We arrived around 2.30pm and did the house tour and the farm shop so this review sadly will not include personal experience of the massive 35,ooo acres (14,000 hectares) over Derbyshire and Staffordshire which makes up the Chatsworth Estate: adventure playground and gardens with lovely water features we spied through the house windows, rivers, villages, farms, woodlands and other big ...

Review of AQA Anthology Workbook: Poems from Different Cultures: GCSE English at Foundation Level - Various

Stella

Advantages: Nice Crisp Taste
Disadvantages: Can get you drunk very quickly

Beligum and has been produced in the Uk since 1926. Of course for anyone that doesn't know Stella is one of the strongest Lager's available on tap in the Uk at 5.2% alcohol content. Personally I do prefer European Lager's to the American stuff and Stella on tap is probably still my favourite although I have had a few killer hangovers after a night on Stella as im sure many Stella drinkers will testify to. Taste; I'm sure most people upon leaving a pub have pocketed one of those really nice Stella glasses. Best served in a tall straight glass and served quite cool, it has a clear, golden complexion and should have a nice white foamy head. With every pint of Stella no matter how many you have the first taste is always the same, with a sweet malty after taste. A very crisp refreshing pint Stella is perfect whether its just for a couple ...
