Thinking about New York

Last week I had some fantastic news. I have been accepted to move to New York by my company. Although there's a lot still to do - and I am a stickler for knowing all the finite details - I am bloody excited! I have always wanted to move to America, pretty much from the age of 9. After all, I was brought up during an invasion of American pop culture. So if all goes well, I will move to New York this Autumn and start a new life.

Although I am excited and biting at the bit to go, I know I will miss London. So with that in mind I have been thinking of ways to retain some sense of home whilst living the life in New York.

The below are some cool things I thought I could take with me. As they say, you're never as British as you are when you're in a foreign land.

There's a Big Ben one of these, and a Statue of Liberty one.
Might get both.

Here are some things that I like and would like to have in my home. Not British per se but cool nonetheless.

East, East, East London

Today is St George's day and it's a glorious one because the sun is shining. Even in East London which I have to attend every Friday for work was gorgeous. I had my lunch at the root master, a vegan restaurant in an old route master bus, and then walked around East London taking in the style and arts. Here are some pics. The only cack thing about today is that my girlfriend isn't here. Can't wait 'til we live together for days like this.
