London notes – 25-11-10
I’m in a pub! At eleven in the morning! Good morning, London.
Today I feel jubilant, because I found the place I wanted to find, and I’m told, it will be mine. I’ll feel better about going on and on about it once all the paperwork is completed tonight. So, still holding my breath a bit. But mostly, 99% relieved of one of the major anxieties of moving.
Of course, now that the hard part is over when it comes to looking for a place (and I looked at some rather dingy and unfortunate places all around the city) I finally can approach London with a sense of relaxation. I’m going to have a week until I move and set up shop, and this will be my week to enjoy London like a tourist – see the sights, make new friends, sleep in and go out. I promise to remember to use that little Canon S90 I always carry around (I’m not a phone person, nor am I a natural camera person) to do a proper photo post or two.

I’m thrilled that you were able to find a great place so quickly! I can’t wait to see it. For your touristy needs: Make sure you get a London A-Z map-book. Everything is marked on there, and it can be a huge lifesaver. Be safe and don’t get lost! :3
PS – Your hair looks adorable in this picture.
So happy for you Danielle! And such great news! Enjoy settling in!
You got a place — yay! I’m excited to hear your adventure stories. :) Also excited to see that the sweater made it to London — hahaha.
Londontown!
So many good art exhibits there right now. Was there for Fashion Week and can’t wait to get back soon to meet my new niece in UK. :)
Love london, never been there, :) but love from the movies!
so so glad you’re settling in well… ah, London in November, with its 4pm sunsets… its been a decade, but I remember them well!
Hoping no news is good news and that you are currently happily settling into your new flat with fabulous studio space!
You’re the second Blogger that I follow who’s moved to London! I used to live there for six years and really miss it. Best of luck with your move.
joi – yes all is well, got the place!! more on that soon.
Danielle – who is the other blogger who made the move?
A copy of London A to Z is an excellent resource.
