English everywhere

People speak English everywhere, or we try at least. Because of that fact, I think English native speakers can't have conversations with friends abroad without everybody catching what they are talking about. It's not convenient when they feel like gossiping.
But we are supposed to write about countries that actually use English as their official language, so I'm missing the point. Turning to the matter in hand I can tell that I've been a bunch of times in England and Ireland, and I loved it. I was six weeks living in Bath and I think it's one of my favorite cities in the world: it has magnificent buildings which look like something from a British classic romance. (I guess they are indeed, because famous Pride and Prejudice writer, Jane Austen was born in Bath and a lot of her books are set in there).
I had a marvelous time in the city. I would love to sit and eat chocolate muffins on a bench near the Abbey, and after that, I'd walk near the river and I'd wander through the parks, amazed by trees and nature. I also loved to go to the bookstores (the first time I heard about "A Song of Ice and Fire" by George R. R. Martin was there) and buying at Mark and Spencer's, haha. I found a bag of chips with black pepper that was yummy!)
I miss traveling. I wish we went back to pre-covid normal soon.

You mentioned two countries, but in the last sentence you used a singular pronoun to reference them. This creates confusion as what exactly you love, the travelling or the two countries?

Feedback

Overall, this is good. A couple of things. Your sentences tend to run on a bit, noting salient point strung together in one long sentence. This is more of a stylistic suggestion but breaking them up with appropriate punctuation would make the reading process smoother.
Secondly, in the middle of your narration you switched tenses a bit. You started with the past continuous (i would love to sit and ....) and in the next couple of sentences went to simple past (I also loved to go...). Though the passage is still understandable, it changes the tone of your narration and I'm not sure if that's what you were going for. Keep it up!

Thank you! I agree with you, I wasn't sure about what I was writing. I struggle with tenses and I need to refresh my grammar because it's rusty. So I really appreciate your feedback
