Life: Goodbye Chiswick

It's been a number of days since I last wrote a post. Everything is full blast at the moment: my job is crazily busy, I have a 5000 word essay to write for my part-time course, and tomorrow I'm moving house. 

After a year of living in beautiful Chiswick, I'm moving to north London. This last year I've seen redundancy, burglary and bloody awful housemates, but that doesn't mean I don't have a soft spot for good old W4. It's residential and leafy, and doesn't feel like living in London at all in that it's not full of high-rise buildings and sirens (for the most part). I'll miss the place, but I'm so excited about moving now that I don't really mind!

I won't have the internet immediately at my new place, but I'll try and write some new posts when I can!

Life: October Sunshine

I'm sure you're sick to death of reading the words 'Indian Summer' and 'hottest October on record', or if you're really odd you're probably sick of the ongoing heatwave we've been experiencing in the UK. Let's be honest, whatever type of weather we have people will complain but I refuse to moan about this glorious sunshine! England barely had a summer this year, and I haven't been out of the country at all as all my money was spent on moving house, so despite having to stay in the office for most of this mini Summer I've tried my hardest to make the most of it.


I work in beautiful Chiswick, and took the opportunity to sit out on Turnham Green with Pink Julep and Pauper Princess to take in the rays and look angrily at the unemployed young people who could sit there for longer than us. Check us out being summery!

We also had a great opportunity while scoping out places for an event to sit on a gorgeous terrace at a private members club in the sunshine with a complimentary drink and a gorgeous view over Covent Garden where we could see the London Eye and Parliament in the distance (the pic doesn't do it justice!).

'Working' in the sunshine - lovely!

And of course there have been BBQs and a lot of sitting about in the garden reading copious amounts of trashy magazines. Bliss!


Apparently there's going to be snow in the next few weeks. I won't complain then either as it means I'll be able to wear my big lovely parka which I've missed. I'm British, I can deal with any weather!
