London Changes

So there’s been a wee bit of upheaval in my life recently. I finished housesitting for friends in North London, and that very day received a call asking if I needed somewhere to live! Having made no plans whatsoever except another trip to Madrid the following week I happily accepted an offer of lodging in a wonderful, busy, grand old house next to Hampstead Heath! I’m lodging with Eva and her overly-energetic pup Alfie, who I go for long walks with everyday, and look after when Eva goes away.

So now I’m a North London gal! And very happy to be – it’s very green and feels COMPLETELY different from East London (though I’m still down there every week:))

Aaaand, secondly – I finished up at MetaBroadcast last month! No plans as of yet, I’ve started flicking my CV out again, making enquiries around the world and generally looking to see what’s about. I’m pretty happy to plod along and see what happens. I had originally thought I was heading for Australia and warmer winds but as the year marched on so fast I’ve suddenly found myself less and less ready to leave London. I’m very aware that this is possibly the last opportunity to do this visa wise, and London is the place to do anything under the sun you might wish to. (Actually, blatant lie – no sun, and I’ve discovered forestry workers are a bit out of luck here too.) So! Watch this space! I’m going to be a tourist for a few weeks and go do all those things in London that people who live here never do. Can’t wait!

I’ll try write up a Madrid blog post sooooon, but the weather came back to London with me (the weather reporter did make me looool – “A scorcher of a heatwave, highs of 27 degrees!”) and I’ve been making the most of it knowing it’ll turn to crap next week.

Love from me, will try to reply to all your emails, sorry for being slack.
