| From Paper Source. I bought this, and I can't wait to use it. |
Sometimes, I really miss London.
I definitely don't miss all of it, but now that I have been back here for 6 months, and the gloss of being back near my fiance, family, and friends has faded to comfortable familiarity again, I see that I do miss it. For example, instead of living in a [slightly yuppy] condo building, I lived here:
 |
| 39 Wharton St. We lived in the top 2 floors. |
I miss my roommates, with whom I shared a variety of adventures including, but not limited to: a semi-disastrous semi-awesome trip to Amsterdam, trying to play Jenga in a pub, making Thanskgiving dinner for our whole office, attending a Halloween party in Shorditch [Sho-dich], seeing Kelis in concert, flat searching [most intense adventure on this list], budget accommodation in Kings Cross, a middle-aged-and-up cruise to Greece in which everyone seemed to assume we were some bizarre love triangle, spending a whole paycheck on clothes in Covent Garden...
 |
| Turkey. We don't mess around. |
Even thought I really enjoy being back here, starting a new life with my fiance, starting a new job that might actually go somewhere long-term, I do miss the carefree lack-of-responsibility that was London. I miss waking up on Saturday mornings [or sometimes afternoon] and going out for a coffee, strolling down to the shops to see what I felt like blowing my paycheck on this month, buying extravagant things from Waitrose to make for dinner...
And then I remember how it felt to carry those groceries home for the 15 minute walk. And I think I can live with moving on, carrying all those memories on with me :)

| Hampton Court Palace had an awesome garden. Nice weather! It did sometimes occur! |
 |
| Halloween. Those spiky things are spiders on the wall behind us. |

| Church right around the corner from the flat |

| Wharton St. had the coolest cars | |
