Ok, so this almost turned out to be an intense and cliche-driven blog post, but then I decided, especially since this is the first blog post after a bit of a lengthy absence, not to do that. Instead, I have decided to be chirpy and informative - much more readable I think.
So what have you been doing with yourself over the last few months, I hear you cry (OK, quietly inquire perhaps?). Well. It's been eventful. Since so much has happened with me keeping my lips buttoned, I'll give you a brief idea of what I have been up to;
If you are in need of a bit of a geek-out, visit the Grant Museum
of Zoology like we did. Not if you're squeamish though. Not at all. Lots of dead stuff.
Otherwise: fascinating in a crazy Victorian specimen collection kind of a way. Probs deserved it's own blog post. Didn't get one though.
I fulfilled a bit of a longtime ambition whereby I donned a Gryffindor scarf and foot-popped whilst pretending to be entering Platform 9 3/4 - I was very much disappointed to find that the combination of these factors didn't culminate in my ability to actually attend Hogwarts.
I found Jesus on the Central Line. That is definitely what happened. He looked like he was having a bad day.
St James Park - go here if you are feeling a bit overwhelmed by the grey-ness that London oftentimes emits.
My friend Ory and I, after not being able to find the Shard(?!) went to the very top and took several selfies. Bit expensive but worth a trip for a different perspective on London.
I have had a great influx of some of my favorite people in the world come and visit me in London, which as you can imagine, has been marvelous and magnificent.
This market is devine. It's full to the brim with fantastic food including some of THE BEST pulled pork I've ever had. And I do love pulled pork. And before you say anything, I know I cut the 'B' off at the top. Don't judge me.
I've also spent much of my time hanging out with this woman, drinking innocent hot drinks such as this but we have also enjoyed copious amounts of cocktails too. Her new boyfriend and his friends have also been somewhat of a (very multinational) revelation.
This month I went to two of the best known department stores in London - Liberty of London (check out the documentary on Channel 4 - awesome)and Harrods. My gorgeous Jersey friend Kelsi and I (and later Georgia) pretended to be poshos and try to appear as if we could afford to do our weekly shop in the Harrods food hall and purchase every designer scarf in the Liberty scarf hall. Not sure we pulled it off all that well.
Most recently, I have been indulging in the Christmas spirit, getting on it with the mulled at the Winchester Christmas Market and admiring the lights at Covent Garden.
Whew! It's been quite the whirlwind few months. London has so much to offer and I intend to do and see as much of it as humanly and financially possible whilst I'm here.
Well I hope that that was a satisfactory round-up and you won't hate me too much for not writing for 3 WHOLE MONTHS. OK, I would judge me too to be fair.
