Well!
As you may have determined from my somewhat cryptic Twitter updates to my blog earlier this week, I’ve returned to London! After a three month epic battle with various government departments to secure a work permit and reentry visa for the UK, I’m 100% legal to be working and living in the UK. While I was home, I was working for Spoonfed, enjoying the California sun and family time but it’s about time to be back in London.
Most of this week has been about getting over jet lag and getting reaquainted with the Spoonfed offices but I’m already making plans for a London-full weekend, including a trip to the fantastic Borough Market on the Southbank for fresh produce, homemade baked good and cheeses, and possibly some farm fresh meats. There will definitely be pictures so stay tuned. Unfortunately the credit crunch has hit the UK as well so there are some unhappy rumours of steep rent increases for stalls at the famous market, potentially driving out some of the regular sellers so I want to make sure I get to enjoy the market in case those rumours come true.
I plan to get back in the swing of updating The Top Floor Flat blog regularly, including more travel trips (plans for trips to Scotland and Ireland are in the works), pictures, videos and general London experiences… you’ll have to give me a few more days to get over the last of the jet lag :).
