Moving Into Our New Flat

A few weeks ago, Alex and I moved back to London and into a new pad. 🏠We were very excited as we've not lived together before and we managed to find a beautiful, light and airy flat that is just a 10 minute walk from the heart of Shoreditch.

I must be getting older as I was very enthusiastic about unpacking boxes of plates and mugs and filling up the empty cupboards. Most satisfactory.

The bedrooms are large and spacious and ours has cute little circular windows which remind me of port-holes in a ship. The extra space will be very useful for Alex and me as it (hopefully) means we can keep it nice and tidy!

Once we had found a home for most of our things, we decided it was high time to celebrate properly and ventured back upstairs to admire the view and seek out a bottle of something cold and bubbly. 

The french doors open over a fabulous view of the rooftops of London. At most times of day you can see a bustle of activity in the streets below. It will be very hard not to get distracted by people -watching in the mornings over a bowl of cornflakes.

Alex was the designated cork popper as I sat back and relaxed, ready to toast our new home. We decided on a bottle of Ruinart after a recommendation from a wine-buff friend and we were not disappointed. Cold, sharp and intensely bubbly, as Marvin Gaye says...ain't nothing like the real thing.

Once we had polished off the champagne, we sat back and admired the sky change from gold to orange to the deepest pink.

Both very excited to start this new chapter and see what the future might bring. My next pet project will be decorating the house so watch this space.
