Once we took the Overground all the way to Crystal Palace and I felt very small. Also, the Crystal Palace is right out of a dystopian nightmare.

Looking Back | London



Before leaving London we lived in the East End, Wapping to be exact. Cobbled streets and wrought iron fences, this cosy little village is a well kept secret minute away from the towering monsters of Canary Wharf, London Bridge and Liverpool Street.

Our apartment overlooked the Thames, and we could see Tower Bridge from our window. It was really something special. The Overground or Tube was our transport of choice, with bikes for getting around the local area (cycling in London means putting your life in the hands of crazed lunatics).

Moving Forward | Copenhagen


Two accommodation moves later and we're finally in an apartment of our own in Copenhagen. Cosy, and well lit, I think this is as good as it gets. We cycle absolutely everywhere now, even in the rain (which is constant). The skyline is a lot lower, a lot more yellow-washed walls and brown roofs. I think it is perfect.

Remember When...







...There were massive pancakes from The Breakfast Club in Hoxton and they were unblievably massive with clotted cream? I frequently miss London eateries. Some of the best.

 'Do not weep for me for me, for mine lips have tasted the greatest pancakes of them all*'

*truth be told the pancakes themselves were overdone/stodgy, but the presentation was so perfect, and they were so reasonably priced, and the clotted cream was so outrageous, that I forgive this minor flaw.
