The good, the bad and the fabulous - London



I went to London a few weeks ago and before I left, I made a list of everything that I missed about London (The Good):

- My friends

- Borrough Market

- Harrods

- Oxford Circus

- The Tube - you have to drive everywhere in Colorado so you always need a designated driver

- Being so close to France - I love France!

- Leicester Square and Piccadilly Circus

- Fab restaurants

- Good Indian Food (mmmm Korma...)

- Shopping with my fab friend Drama Princess etc.

- Marks & Spencer and Boots (there is no equavelent to either one of them)



When I came back, I made another list - of things I don't miss (The Bad):

- Grey Skies (Colorado has 300 days of sunshine)

- Traffic (we sat still - yes, dead-still, for 2 hours on the highway)

- The Tube (when its peak time, over-full and smelly)

- Oxford Circus (it gets too busy some times)

- Tiny parking spots

- Paying for parking everywhere (even at some supermarkets)

- A few more things...that I can't remember now (so they couldn't be that bad)

(The Fabulous): I had a fantastic time in London - I did some shopping and spent some time visiting a few of my favourite places in the city. The best thing about this short little trip, was seeing my friends. Oh how I miss you all! The years that I lived in London was amazing...mostly because I got to share it with all of you. I hope to be back for a visit soon!
