U jednom pabu Šnjur je čak dobio i mini- pintu dog ejla In one pub Šnjur even received a mini pint of dog ale
vidljiva velika ljubav koju Britanci gaje prema ljubimcima, a Šnjur nam je takođe i karta u poš društvo jer se aristokratske bakice po Islingtonu i Ričmondu redovno zaustavljaju da nas pitaju da li mogu da ga poma- ze. Obično mu kažu „you charming little bastard“, to je nešto kao „šar- mantna mala barabo“. U jednom pabu je čak dobio i mi- ni-pintu dog alea , tako da ispada da je njegov pseći život ponekad bolji od našeg, pogotovo ako uzmemo u obzir da je jedina njegova dužnost na putovanju da isturi njušku kroz pro- zor iz Anjinog krila. Budući da su veliki ljubitelji pri- rode, posete parkovima u Londonu, pa i onima u okolini, postali su im dnevna rutina. – Englezima su parkovi sve. Tu se radi body combat sa privatnim tre- nerom, prave piknici uz roze sa pri- jateljima posle pet, slavi dečji rođen- dan, a tu su i pisci i blogeri, tačnije svi oni koji posao mogu da obavljaju pomoću laptopa i rade ležeći na tra- vi, ne hajući za uporne fleke na far- merkama. Hajd ili Victorija park de- finitivno su mesta na kojima možete videti sve, ali ako ne budete lenji da se odvezete do Ričmonda i doživi- te da vam priđe krdo pitomih jele- na u gradskoj džungli veličine pola Novog Beograda, pitaćete se zašto su jedan takav safari Englezi nazva- li parkom – kaže Anja.
Novogodišnji i božićni praznici su nam sve bliži, pa je tako praznič- no ludilo zahvatilo i London. – Pabovi uzimaju rezervacije za božićne ručkove već u oktobru, a Kar- nabi strit u Sohou je uveliko jedna ve- lika božićna bajka. Umesto da baza- mo naokolo po kristis marketima i trošimo pare, mi smo rešili da pro- bamo da na jednom od njih poku- šamo da ih zaradimo. Iznajmili smo poslednji štand na popularnom bo- žićnom sajmu Kantri living , tako da je engleska publika imala priliku da se upozna sa stilizovanim daskama za serviranje klope srpskog brenda daskka , iza kojeg stoje Anja i njena banda žena. Uspeli smo da raspro- damo sve što smo doneli i sada se u londonskim toplim domovima tra- dicionalni engleski doručak, kao i obavezni čaj u pet, služe na daska- ma iz Srbije!
have become part of their daily routine. “Parks are everything to the English. There they practise body combat with a pri- vate trainer, hold picnics with rosé wine and friends after five, celebrate children’s birth- days, and there are also writers and blog- gers, or more precisely all those who can do their job via a laptop and work lying on the grass, not bothering about resilient stains on jeans. Hyde Park or Victoria Park are defi- nitely places where you can see everything, but only if you’re too lazy to drive to Rich- mond and experience being approached by a herd of tame deer in a city jungle that’s the size of half of New Belgrade, where you will wonder why the English refer to such a safari range as a park,” says Anja. With the festive period fast approach- ing, London has also been caught up in the Christmas craziness. “Pubs accept reservations for Christ- mas dinner as early as October, and Carn- aby Street in Soho is one huge Christmas fairy tale. Instead of roaming around Christ- mas markets and spending money, we de- cided to try to earn some money on one of them. We rented the last stall at the popu- lar Country Living Christmas Fair and chose to give the English public an opportunity to familiarise themselves with the stylised serving trays of the Serbian brand“Daskka”, behind which stands Anja and her gang of women. We managed to sell everything we brought, and now in London’s warm homes traditional English breakfasts, as well as the obligatory tea at five, are served on trays from Serbia!”
