The big move :-)

Sigh.  It's June, and I'm not sure what happened to May.  Part of the busyness was because I was looking for a new house!  Through God's grace and the connections of friends, I found a good place in the house pictured below.  I moved in on June 1.  I'm on the second floor, and I think I'll enjoy living here.  My two housemates are both older, which contributes to our house being quiet.  Everyone keeps to themselves other than some chats in the kitchen.  By the way, "our" house is only the left side of the house (when facing the house from the street).

below: the view when you first enter the house.  To the right is a sitting room/dining room and the stairs go up to the three bedrooms and bathroom.
The kitchen


The back yard: It's quite a treat to have both a front yard and back yard!  It seems rare here in London.
So, there's a little view of my new home.  As you may have guessed, its a bit further out from the centre of London, but I really appreciate that.  This bush baby needs some space!  There is a huge, beautiful park about ten minutes walk away, and in the opposite direction, its about 10 minutes to the tube station and grocery stores, pharmacy, restaurants, etc.  It lets me have my space and yet I can to the centre of London without too much effort!

Yeah Hope! I'm so glad for you. This seems like a good set-up and from what I could see, not a bad spot. Ah, it looks so much cooler than what I am experiencing, but then again, my winter will be more mild. Wish you were coming in August! It feels like important people will be missed. I had a nice skype with Jess and Anna yesterday - looking forward to October even more!

hope! this looks so so nice! :) i'm glad that you were finally able to find something, with some room, but still close to the city. You are just so dear, and I can't wait to give you a big hug! :)
