Good Afternoon from British Soil! As promised, here is one final update to cover the end of my time in the USA and my return to England. After my last post on the morning (US time) of 26th June, I headed for Beverly Hills to go to Mr Brainwash, an art gallery of pieces by…
And just like that, this will be my last post from across the pond! I’ll probably do one more short post next week, but as I fly out on Sunday, I’ll write that from English soil. I knew when I arrived nearly 5 months ago that the time would fly by. I’ve heard friends with…
Hello Hello!! It’s been another busy couple of weeks since I last posted. Our friend Ralph has been with us since 6th June and, even though Chris had to work for most of that time, Ralph and I have been all over the city in the Ford Mustang he hired! I forgot to write in…
Viva Las Vegas! I had a nice day on Friday – met Chris for lunch at the office, then went for a walk around The Grove and the farmers market (got a scoop of cherry chocolate ice cream to enjoy in the sun!), watched some of this week’s jazz concert at LACMA, them met back…
I’m currently in between two bumper weekends of fun – packing in as much as possible to my last month in the USA – I fly home in one month! I know it’s a cliché, but time really does fly when you’re having fun! After my San Francisco trip I had a quiet week. I…
San Francisco instalment! Last week I took a trip up to San Francisco from Monday to Friday. I was very lucky with the weather; it was gloriously sunny all week (so sunny that my nose got a little sunburnt) but simultaneously quite windy along the coast! I stayed with Xiaofan, a friend from university, near…
The sun has returned! Just as Frankie left for New York as well – typical! We’ve had a lovely week with some great food and cocktails and A LOT of walking! Frankie’s Fitbit reached 30,000 steps on Tuesday! Frankie arrived on 30th April and we went straight out for a cocktail at a local rooftop…
Getting close to the three month mark now! The weather is still up and down (relative to what’s normal here. We still rarely have rain and it rarely goes below 10 degrees so I can’t complain too much). It’s so changeable here! One day it will be grey, cloudy and foggy at about 13 degrees,…
Good Morning World! It’s been a busy couple of weeks and I’ve only just realised that I forgot to post last week! So this post covers my highlights from the last two weeks! Before I dive in, I hope everyone has a lovely and restful Easter. I’ve been enjoying a little Easter care package put…
Today as I write I am sitting on the rooftop terrace. It’s been a very warm week so far following a couple of cooler, slightly foggy weeks. My weather app says it’s currently 27 degrees – this is the Californian spring I was expecting! After 2 months here, I finally made it to Downtown LA!…
