Vacation at home

Recipes against wanderlust

 
Healthy pancakes
Pancake day, also called Shrove Tuesday, is celebrated on February 16 in England, exactly 47 days before Easter Sunday. This simple, flourless version is a great breakfast not only in England.
 
Sloe gin - make it yourself
We are already in the weekend mood and so today we have a typical English drink for you. Sloe is the English word for sloe and actually the Sloe Gin is a liqueur based on gin.
 
English breakfast

Lately we all spend more time at home and on the weekend we once again prepared a typical English breakfast. That's how we like it most.

 
Good Vibes, Good Vitamins

Our nutrition tip: A healthy smoothie tastes good and strengthens the immune system at the same time. Serve the smoothie not as usual in a glass, but in a bowl - sprinkled with fruit and coconut chips.

 
Vitamin C Smoothie Power

Vitamin C is very important for a strong immune system, but how do you get enough of it through food? Simple: with a smoothie made from fruits and vegetables rich in vitamin C.

 
Simple and healthy cooking

Take a lot of vegetables, cut them into pieces, marinate them with olive oil, herbs, pepper and salt and put them in the oven for 30-40 minutes at 170 degrees - that's it. Make your kids (and yourself) extra happy...

Feedback from our guests

Feedback class trip

Many beautiful impressions we bring with us. Great weather and lots of good mood have accompanied us! We thank all who have made this trip possible again...

England trip to Bexhill

Dear Senlac Team, I am back home now since Friday and I wanted to say thank you! It was a wonderful and super organized trip to Bexhill!

Class trip to Hastings

Liebe Nicole, wir sind am Samstagmorgen gut und erschöpft nach Hause gekommen, die Kinder sehr glücklich, die Eltern im Allgemeinen auch. Es war wieder einmal eine rundum gelungene Reise nach England.

Language trip to England

Dear Karina, we arrived well and on time (around 8 a.m.) in "butt-cold" Auerbach - as MDR weatherman Thomas Globig likes to say.

Feedback from a class trip

Dear Conni, Nicole, Karina and Angelika, in the preparation and execution of our beautiful trip you proved to be my contacts, forerunners and co-thinkers, supporters and helpers, in short as an all-round carefree and all-inclusive package in person.

Hang on!

Dear Senlac Team, I often still drink from the beautiful Senlac cup and think of you and the many trips you have supervised for my students and me. Angelika, I hope you are well and can continue to motivate the dream team to persevere for years to come.

Class trip England - London

Dear Karina, we landed well back home, with 70 satisfied children. This was certainly also due to the beautiful weather and nice teachers ;-). But mainly the good host families have contributed to this and especially your super organization.

Cornwall trip

Dear Senlac Team, we are back home safe and sound and hope the same for Ringo and Vivien, who should be back in Hastings by now.

Round trip Wales
Hi Karina, we are back home after a wonderful week on the island and especially in Wales and the school routine has us back.
