Home Sweet Home

Welcome to our humble abode...

We're all moved into our new flat in London now. After four days of Russ driving me up to London for work and being stuck in traffic for literally hours over those four days, we though it was a good idea to move up earlier! Believe it or not it's cheaper to drive than take the train, by miles!! So Thursday night was spent unpacking and making ourselves at home. The house is awesome - so cosy and homely!! So here's a bit of a tour...

The lounge, kitchen, and conservatory are on the ground floor, cosy, new, and clean!!Our bedroom on the second floor, which was the master suite until the owner made a third floor... My side's the one with the mirrored wardrobes. And our bathroom is just as nice!

There's one other single bedroom on our floor, then the master suite and second bathroom on the third floor. We have a lovely paved backyard, with barbecue area and shed, which backs onto Cannon Hill Common - a park with soccer fields, children's playground and free tennis courts. It's nice to be by an area of greenery in the middle of a big city!! In the summer it'll be awesome to get out there to read and soak up the sun!!

So here we are, in our first London flat, finally living together, properly!! Absolutely LOVING London!! It's a good spot, in zone 4, a little further out than we had originally planned, but London living costs are pretty steep. We found ourselves an absolute bargain here though!! We pay £600/ month to live here - about 400NZD per week, and you don't get much cheaper than that! We were really lucky to find this place!! Just makes me fall in love with London even more!!
