Last week was beautiful.

Stunning weather, light into the evening and the smell of spring in the air.

Then the weekend came and all that changed. Suddenly it was cold again - so cold in fact I got my first experience of snow in London. It was beautiful. I sat on my front stoop for about 30 minutes in the cold - rugged up and watching the snow fall softly on the streets of Marble Arch where I live.

Quiet and peaceful and cold - you wouldnt want it all the time, but for that one morning it was pretty magical.

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.
