From the east end to East Anglia...goodbye London

2011 ended with a huge step for me - I left London and moved to Suffolk. Ipswich to be precise, to live with my boyfriend and write for the East Anglia Daily Times and Evening Star.

Goodbye celeb-studded parties, au revoir liquid lunches of champagne and see you later  bar-hopping round Shoreditch and Soho til 2am on a school night.

But it's not all bad - I won't miss the underground or being in a long-distance relationship for starters.

Helping me with my move was Lucas. He was able to pick up my couch with ONE ARM. I have never seen such an impressive show of masculinity. In addition, he shared his Christmas chocolates from Thorntons with me.

On the drive to Ipswich, street signs and heavy traffic made way for Wuthering Heights-style mist and countryside.

 

I painted my nails (Night Shade by Rimmel) and breathed a sigh of relief to be ending the year surrounded by the beauty of Suffolk.
