Our little flat

HI Again :)


Well summer's over (it lasted a week!) and it's raining and cold again. Lucky for us it wasn't raining last weekend because that's when we moved into our new flat!
So we've left Sam's Aunty and Uncle in Loughton and are now living in West Kensington. It is in central London and a lot closer to work. Plus it's close to some nice parks and London attractions which we still want to visit.

We're in a studio flat where our bedroom is shared with a little computer table/ dining table. But the good thing is our toilet, bathroom and kitchen are in seperate rooms (we still live in a shoe box though!) Even though it's small, it is still our own space and just right for what we need right now. So we've settled in comfortably. Here are some photos if you want to check it out...
These are photo's of our street. The flat is in a large Victorian house which has been converted into quite a few studio flats. It's in a nice area and close to the tube station which is handy. Also, we have a little private courtyard area. Our flat is the only one that opens out onto it.
In the photo below, the archway in the bottom left hand corner is the entrance to our house and you can just see our red car parked on the street :)
Bye for now everyone, look forward to reading your comments. .....xoxoxo

Sunny England

Hello!


A couple of weekends ago we had some fantasic summer weather here in london. On Sat we went to a fete in Regents Park. It was a day out for Bekki's Birthday. It was called the innocent village fete, sponsored by the 'nudie' fruit smoothie drinks. Anyway, it was a fun day and nice to be out in the sun. There was lots of great food, drink and music. They also had traditional fete attractions such as swingdancing, duck herding, dog agility trials and maypole dancing!

Here are some pics from the fete....
Then on Sunday we battled the crowds and drove to Brighton for the day. It is a very popular spot on a hot, sunny day cause it's a sea side town. Brighton also happens to be the gay capital of England and the day before we visited they had their 'gay pride parade.' As we didn't realise this, we were surprised at how openly gay the place was and at the number of rainbow flags flying! Anyway, it was a very colourful place and worth the visit.
Notice in the picture how their beach is all pebbles. It was nice to wander around but we didn't go swimming or lie on the "beach".
One of the places to visit in Brighton is the Royal Pavillion. It's an Indian-styled building that's quite unusal. Here's a photo.
