HELLO HARROW!!

We moved into a sharehouse in Acton on Monday which we had organised over the internet from Thailand (a big no no!). Yes... well the area is not really very desireable, located somewhere between a prison, an industrial estate and a railway interchange. The ad did not mention that we would be sharing this house with seven others (and with only one bathroom!). Fortunately though the lease was very flexible and we were only required to give one weeks notice (which we did promptly).

We have been looking around at other areas to see where we would like to live for the next few months. We found a studio apartment in a cute little suburb called Harrow on the north west outskirts of London. It's a tiny little apartment, but its modern and clean and in a great location. We put a deposit down and plan to move in next Thursday!

Col had another job interview today for an IT position with the Royal Horticultural Society and felt it went really well. He should hear back next week. I have found a few interesting positions which I have applied for but haven't got any interviews lined up as yet. When we move to our new place I will probably look locally for a temporary job.

Today checked out Buckingham Palace, Trafalgar Square and the National Gallery. Didn't spot queenie but saw the changing of the guards. In the National Gallery we looked mostly at collections from the 1400's and 1500's which were absolutely amazing to see. Also walked through St James Park which was gorgeous.

We are going away to the 'countryside' for the easter weekend with Col's cousin and her partner. Hope you guys at home all have a happy easter!

Will be in touch again soon :)
