We arrived on the Eurostar in no time at all from London and were settled into our dorm room of an airbnb by 1 pm. Great location but really, a five star at an Airbnb is now meaningless to me. Remember- bring soap, hand towels, dishtowels, a few trash bags and a good attitude because […]
Finsbury Park was an option of where to find a flat when we first started looking. Now, having been there, I can safely say that we picked well. It does have a large Homebase (home depot type) store which is what brought us out this way. There is a large park and if you get […]

I set off yesterday morning on a quest to buy a gift of one warm scarf for a friend. I had bought one for myself at The Holiday Market at Columbus Circle a few days ago, I showed her, she loved it, I had a mission. I headed up to Columbus Circle and thought it […]
