My Walk on the North Bank of River Thames: Part 1
Walk from Southwark to Blackfriars Bridge When the sun is out and the day is mild, I love to walk and explore London. That late summer day, I had time and weather gods were benevolent. I decided to explore the North Bank of the river Thames. When we initially moved to London, I had memorized [...]
My Life on the Move
My life has meandered several times on its journey. I have lived on 3 continents, in 3 countries, 8 cities, and 15 homes. Sometimes people don’t understand this lifestyle and ask me how I do it. Some ask me which place I prefer, but I’m always happy where I am that minute. I’m happy if [...]

Walk around the Tower Bridge neighborhood! I am finally getting back to writing my next blog post. Life sometimes takes a few turns and it’s hard to sit down and write.

Borough market: Foodie’s Paradise
This is one market that I have been going to for years. Since our move to London I have gone there multiple times. Not only that, I take my friends there when they visit me in London. I am a foodie so naturally one market I love going to is this one. To be honest, [...]
Colors, crowds and Cheer, Columbia Road Flower Market
I love flowers. I love to see them in my home. When I read about the Columbia Road Flowers Market, I had to plan a trip there. Persuading my husband to accompany me to all my whimsical ideas is not a big deal. He knew he was needed to carry my purchases home and to [...]
