May's first blog post...

Hello!

This is May's first official BLOG post!... read on for more from May!...

The photo below is of our apartment - it was taken from the park in front of us. Our apartment is on the 6th floor - on the right hand side you can see the balconies (one of those is us!) - number 18/8... good huh?


This is the Arsenal Football Stadium (Emirates Stadium)... it is brand new and HUGE. It's about 2km from our apartment.


The night of my first working Friday and my first experience being on the tube by myself. I had to get from my office to Leceister Square on my own and was lost underground for a whole hour. Maxine and Garry managed to get free tickets to a play (a strange play called "2 Graves" with only one actor) whilst waiting for me. After the play, we went to dinner at a Persian restaurant (pic below) where they had a belly dancer. Food was great too!


Borough Markets at London Bridge - the food here was great, lots of traditional British food (burgers, snags, wild boar, ostrich sausages, warm apple cider, choc brownies piled up high!).


Had dim-sum with Jasmin at Phoenix Palace. After lunch, Jas took us to Piccadilly to do some shopping at the famous Fortnum & Mason (Queen Elizabeth II's Grocers & Provisions Merchants!).
