Spring has SPRUNG!

I know some of you may think that you're viewing the wrong page, because this one is now UPDATED!! haha, ok so it's been awhile. I went to Venice ages ago... So here's an update on what I've been doing since..

It's finally Spring and I couldn't be happier. Winter was a little rough for me. I had a really fun time with it at first. I was excited about wearing cute hats, and coats and scarves, drinking mulled wine, and the occasional snowfall (ok it happened once) But then after a while it really got to me!!! It was dark, it was cold, I was inside..it was bad. It was my first winter, and I didn't know what was going on. The days lasted about 3 hours, and it was grey. Ugh!! At one point I had completely made up my mind of going home after the school year finished. But then I was reminded by my family that "It's only winter! It ok, this is what the rest of the world goes through!" Luckily about 2 weeks after that realization, it was Spring!!! Oh man, couldn't have been happier to see the season change!


Now it's lovely!!!!!! The sun is out, the birds are chirping, the flowers are in bloom and London has never looked more gorgeous. :)



Another change I felt that was necessary to make, is I've moved flats! Quite a big decision, but in the end it was really good!! I love the girls I was living with, they've become my best friends out here, but I was really hating the area I was in! The high road was dirty and skanky, and it was really getting to me! Time to move!! Now I'm in lovely Chiswick, which is in West London. It is so adorable!!! I absolutely love it here, I have a much better high road, with lots of shops and restaurants. I live in a really big house with 8 other girls. Ok now before you fall off your chair, it's nothing like it sounds. All the girls are really nice, all young professionals and the house it really big! It's 3 storeys and has lots of bathrooms, 2 kitchens, dining room, conservatory, and garden! Everyone keeps it clean and they're really nice to come home to and chat with around dinner time.
Another thing I really wanted was the broaden my network in London, and make more friends, and that's really easy to do in this house! So I'm extremely happy now!



Here are some photos of my street. Other than that, work has been great! We've all be enjoying the sunshine and have been outdoors a lot, the kids have been really lovely and it's all good! :)
