I’m having a crazy moment thinking about where I was a year ago… Will and I were spending the spring travelling, trying to decide where we were going to move in the fall. London seemed like a crazy risk, a silly pipe-dream. We spent Easter in Toronto and Spring Break in New York. I remember sitting in the airport bar telling my mom that we were going to go to Canada – it felt right. But as soon as we got back, we had an ‘a-ha’ moment and our compass was pointing east – very east.
I love this place with its polite & mild-mannered inhabitants, generous healthcare, unreliable weather and cobblestone streets. Saturdays like this one remind me that we are exactly where we need to be. It was the coldest Easter Saturday since 1962 but we bundled up and took a long walk to Bloomsbury.
1 – chai latte from Leyas on Camden High St. // makes the cold wind a little more bearable
2 – outside the British Museum // my handsome & knowledgable tour guide showed me around the Syrian, Egyptian & Grecian galleries
3 – Russell Square // unstaged appearance of a double decker bus…
4 – Elgin Marbles from the Parthenon // took my breath away
that marble statue is gorgeous! i think it makes where we are so much more special to think about where we were – and what might be next?
