The upside... the downside... what a journey...

Don't you just love moving into a new place?! There's something really refreshing about starting from scratch and making choices about how you want to live. I have to say, Liz has done a brilliant job choosing some fantastic pieces of furniture including wardrobes, chest of drawers, mirrors, lampshades, fantastic canvas, mattress, sofa, sofabed, shelving unit for the lounge, table & four chairs and a doormat!

There's a sofabed in there somewhere! Just a small really cheap one for the spare room. The place is going to be transformed and I am happy because Liz is happy!

Living in London has its downside! Liz parked her car just for an hour and came back to find it had disappeared! It's an odd society that feels the need to be so mistrustful. There's no leeway, no second chance, park your car in the wrong place and the council comes along and takes it! It's a horrible feeling when you have no idea of the pending consequences. Here's the depot where I sat waiting for Liz to pay her £200. A few scratches later she emerged in sponge bob, happy to have retrieved her car, lesson learnt! London life is so not for me!
