Ok people. Its April 1st - and London has turned on a 10 p piece. Grey winter is falling behind and spring is welling up all over the place.

Last night I was in Covent Garden at 7pm and the last of the sunlight had not yet faded. People were laughing, discussing dinner plans and enjoying the pulse of the city.

London is at last coming out from under its grey winter doona because suddenly the weather has turned and the days are long again. Summer is coming - hooray.

I have survived my first London winter, and all is right with the world. 

It seems almost no time since I wrote anything. LIfe has been rollercoastering from one adventure to another. I have been travelling a lot and each place has been a joy - Mykonons, Madrid, Paris, Bordeaux, not to mention London itself.

Beautiful, wonderful, amazing, vibrant London. I love it here.

Finally I have moved into a great flat in Marble Arch with two truely wonderful Aussie boys. My room faces east more or less and in the mornings at the moment Iam waking up to this incredible Mary Poppins skyline of chimny stacks siloetted against indigo and peach sky. I will try and remember to keep my camera by the beed and snap a shot of it in the morning soon.

People keep going on about how dreary the winters are and how cold and aweful its going to be, but for now I am loving it. In themorning I walk to the tube station along Marylebone Rd to Baker St. In the evening I get off at High Holborn, train in Covent Garden and catch the tube home from Tottenham Court Rd.

My life is a Monopoly Board.

This weekend I am off to Amsterdam with a friend and I am looking forward to it. Not perhaps the best time to visit the city, but apparently there is still much to do an see, so I am very excited.
