Katerina Vrana: Feta With The Queen

Katerina was born and raised in Greece, went over to the UK to study and stayed. 'Feta With The Queen' is all about her experiences as a Greek in the UK. It's about feeling very Greek when abroad and not-so-Greek when back home. It's about queues, whingeing and the weather. It's also about food. And shouting. And the sun.
