I'm Here!

Well followers (all three of you.....) I have arrived in England. It's been rainy and cloudy since I got here which suits me just fine, it's that lovely gray light sifting through the the skylight in the ceiling that lets me know I'm really in England. I've been here two days and have thoroughly cleaned both the Kitchen and Bathroom. I haven't lived with other people in over 5 years so this is a new challenge but I will try to make the best of it. So far everyone else is pretty busy which means Chris and I have the house to ourselves most of the time.

In addition to kitchen cleaning I have finished piecing my brother's t-shirt quilt (see below) and will start hunting for a store that sells batting tomorrow (shops close here on Sundays, how quaint).

My good friend Molly is coming to visit Friday and I'm so stoked! Hopefully my hip will be rested up by then, it's been aching the past few days making walking difficult, but then I only really have to get to the tube to get into town, and I can make it if we take it slow.


I have been really busy with the house and settling in so I haven't been able to take many pictures but during the week when everyone is at work (and hip-pain permitting) I will go forth and explore the city a little. There is one particular sign that confuses me here, but I'm going to try to get a picture and see if any one can guess what it means before I ask a Brit.

Thanks for commenting on the last posts (Susan, Adam, Jennifer), I will try to have a follow-worthy blog, though it may only be of interest to people who like laughing at the English or crafts.....no offense Madeleine!
