Really liking Donncha’s shot of London taken whilst flying over head! Pity he just missed grabbing a shot of my apartment as well! And whilst I’m sharing some photo love, OMG I think this is wonderful!

One of the things I love about London (and Paris, New York etc) is that people know how to stand out of your way on escalators etc. Here, you gotta stand to the right, so that people who want to pass, can do, on the left. God help you if you decide to straddle the [...]
Not a lot really! In fairness, that’s not exactly true. I will write a bit about the things about London that I won’t miss over the next few days, but, in the meantime, some of the things I will miss about living in London include: Camden Town: Definitely one of the coolest and most offbeat [...]
I always thought that moving countries would be a breeze, and especially moving from your second on to third, as you should have far less ‘baggage’ (literal and otherwise) in doing so. I can tell you know, even if you have a rather simple, carefree life, moving countries is far more difficult than you imagine! [...]
Aside from neglecting my blog as per usual! I have had a hectic few weeks and months, deciding on, planning, and arranging a move out of cold, wet, grey London, to sunny Australia! In a weeks time from now, there will be no more London, no more tubes, no more crowds and no more getting [...]

This morning I woke up rather bleary eyed and sleepy, and thought that I’d obviously closed the blinds last night, [...]
Does anyone know of any decent (field) hockey clubs in East London, or of any sites out there on the wonderweb where I might go about finding hockey clubs in London? I’m looking at getting back into playing again, more just to have fun and get tucked into the social side of things than to [...]
So, today I get to fly home (yay!) for the weekend. Great and all as that is, there is one part of it that’s a complete pain, the fact that I have to make my way over to Heathrow to get my plane. Flying to Ireland out of Heathrow doesn’t bother me, Terminal 1 is [...]
There’s an interesting opinion piece in today’s Guardian penned by Simon Jenkins, discussing the ever increasing (and planned) number of high rise buildings in London. Since moving over, I’ve been in awe of the number of high rise buildings going up. I currently live in the highest residential property in the UK (though, that’s soon [...]
