a letter

Dear friends and family,

Sorry I have taken so long to actually update on life since I've made it safely over here in the UK. There are several things that we probably need to catch up on. Such as, what was it like leaving, have I started work yet, what is the place like that I am staying at, am I doing alright, what have I done so far, have I seen any of my family yet, and probably plenty of other things you are curious about that I can't think of? We can't possibly touch on the plethora of things that we need to in just one post though. Could you even imagine the length of that monstrosity? No, we won't go there. We'll spilt this up, but where will we start?

A couple of these are easy. Work, no, I haven't started yet. I start on the 9th. Family, yes, I have seen a couple members of my family here. We met up in London and caught up for a bit. It was lovely.

What is my place like? Let's do a picture tour. This will be more exciting for all of us.

Random sidebar: The family I'm staying with is absolutely wonderful. I could not have asked for a more welcoming and kind family to randomly end up renting a room from.

Brief reminder, this is only meant to be a short-term accommodation. I will be looking for somewhere else to lay my head eventually, a place of my own. Most likely a flat, and then you can be super cool and say you have a friend who lives in a flat.

Now, please buckle up, and keep all hands and feet inside of the tour bus. First we have,

the view looking into my room from the hallway.

Then, when we turn left at the door, we find this old-ish fireplace type thing. Looks pretty awesome even if it is probably not used for fire anymore!

From the awesome green fireplace (which you can see in the mirror on the far wall), we can see where some of my clothes and toiletries are. Along with the sink.

In the next corner we have the radiator, desk, and shoe area. The window has a view of the back garden. This all is right next to....

the bed!
Last but not least, the wardrobe that is behind the door leading us back out to the hallway.

Now, my nephew asked me the other night, on video chat, what is outside that door. To which I said, "the rest of the house." I believe that is a prime example of being cheeky. Shall we do a picture tour of that next?

And by that, I mean the rest of the house.
