Movin' On Up, Movin' On Out

Well, a new phase of our London existence has begun in a flat down at Earl's Court, sans our lovely (ex) housemates. Although we will have the pleasure of their company for a few nights before they go gallivanting around Spain and Portugal (no I'm not jealous at all...) It is a bit further away from work for both of us, although Dave is putting out feelers for something local. It is a nice, safe area, with a library just up the road that will be counting me as a member! The flat itself is a fair size for London, it's actually quite cosy and plenty big enough for the two of us. No washing machine though, so we will be losing a lot of change to self serve laundries, of which there are a few around. Some pics of the place are below.
Since the last post, we have also enjoyed a Cuban dinner with Brendan and Jess, and Bec, J, Dave and I have partaken of a Sunday roast at the Bull (a very satisfying experience).
Next trip is Scotland in a couple of weeks for the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, which I'm more excited about than anything so far. (Blue just plays along). In August we will also try to squeeze in a few day trips to see a little more of England, which always seems to get neglected with the rest of the UK and Europe on our doorstep. Brighton is on the list so far. Then it is our turn to be off to Spain and Portugal, if only for a week, followed by the carnage of Oktoberfest! Can't wait for that one!!
How are things in the land of Oz?


The view from our small balcony - to get to it you have to climb out the window. Seriously.

The hallway(term used loosely)

The bedroom

The living area - I hesitate to call it a living 'room'

Happy to be here anyways!
