Spent the day up in town (London) yesterday, repatriating my Daughter into new digs in readiness for the upcoming new term at University (she was in halls last year). We managed to find a semi-decent two bedroom flat in Maida Vale that she's going to share with a mate, it's predictably scruffy and run-down but the road that it's in is nice and very convenient for rail, tube and bus services with plenty of shops, pubs and cafes in the area. I snapped this view from her window, a typical West London scene, rows of uniform terraced houses mostly converted to flats, an eclectic mix of people.
We spent some time there sprucing the place up a bit, hanging some pictures and blinds, sorting out kitchen utensils and rearranging furniture, all the activity generated an appetite so we heading into Notting Hill for some food, a burger and a beer was in order and there were plenty of options. After lunch we popped back to the flat and took various empty boxes and junk back with us, it was a bit weird leaving her there on her own (her mate is out of town ATM) but she was happy to crack on with stuff and after driving into London and back, we had a date with a cuppa and our sofa!
I grabbed this picture as we were walking over to Notting Hill, amazing how some of these grand old houses look great with a lick of paint!
