Well at last I am a beginner Londoner! Despite the best efforts of our removal men. Really, would you load up a van with someone's belongings and set off to London without a map?? OK, they had SatNav but it's sooo dodgy!
Fortunately, at the last minute I'd suggested swapping mobile numbers, which meant we could have conversations like:
" Where are you dear.. we're outside your flat but we can't see you.."
" No, you're not outside our flat ..WE'RE outside our flat but you're not here! "
" Yes we are..."
Having established where they were, and that they were never going to get to us unaided, my OH ordered them to stay where they were and set off to find them .. everyone a bit hot and tired by this point!
To be fair, they then toiled up and down three flights of stairs with great good humour and we got there in the end, as you do. And we love it!
Now all I need is some new friends in London, so watch out for postings on supper clubs, book clubs, walking clubs... hope to meet some of you soon!
