Flat finding
We have found a lovely flat to move into next month. It’s got a fairly good view of the lipstick building and is in a idyllic residential area. Each L shape of flats surrounds a little area covered with flowers … Continue reading

Blue trams in green Gothenburg
It’s been a busy few days. We’ve been mooching around Gothenburg city centre, flat hunting and cycling out to the coast. We’ve even remembered to take Keyvan’s camera out a couple of times and here is one of my favourite … Continue reading

All the museum access you could want
We’ve spent the last two days cycling into the centre in the lovely sunshine. Yesterday we went on a voyage of discovery to the library. There are a surprising number of books in English, that browsing along the shelves you … Continue reading

Norwich takes green issues seriously
I can’t believe that Boris Johnson actually won the vote and is now Mayor of London. It’s probably going to be awful in London now – he’s scrap the congestion charge and do about a million other things that are … Continue reading

Sunny Norwich peacefully snoozing
It’s so nice to be back in Norwich. It’s unbelievably peaceful and calm and the pace of life is so gentle and slow. The pavements are relatively uncrowded and I haven’t had to squash myself onto any form of public … Continue reading

Dublin drizzle and trams to drool over
I have just got back from a wee holiday in Dublin. We nipped over there for Keyvan’s graduation – an exciting event held in The Helix at Dublin City University. The only slightly odd thing about the ceremony was the … Continue reading

Andrew Duncan highly recommended
I walked around St James after work today. It’s quite nice but it’s bizarre wandering past the shops seeing priceless antiques on sale, of the sort that I’ve only ever seen in galleries and museums. It was odd seeing things … Continue reading
