Newly Weds – The inside story

Upon returning to London after our quick 4-day Vegas wedding stint, we realised that it was probably time to give Vic, baby Alister and Pete their house back (big thanks again guys).

So check out our new digs…Glamorous isn’t it? Our little love nest. A medium size room (by London standards) on the 4th floor of a semi-detached, share house with communal bathroom and kitchen facilities. We call it the honeymoon suite.

Not exactly 5 star accommodation, maybe not even 3 star, but at least there are no rats or roaches. To be honest, it’s really not that bad. It's cosy, the other occupants are very nice (seems to be lots of Italians around us) and it comes at the right price – about as cheap as you can get!
Fortunately the hood we live in (Turnpike Lane) is a hive of activity, rich in exotic foods and culture. It’s the Turkish/Indian/Greek/African/Latino quarter, so we fit in just nicely.

Its a bit like the Bronx meets Bombay with an english twist...There's loads of fantastic restaurants, cafes, shops and fresh fruit n veg stalls just around the corner - everything within 4 mins walk. Pubs range from the good, almost upmarket variety (Salisbury) to the old man hangout (Toll Gate), again comes at the right price with a pint of beer costing £1.60 and two meals for £5.29, of course totally void of any nutritional value. But who cares when it comes to good old bangers and mash swimming in gravy.

Anyway, there you have it. Home for the next few months.……

Don’t mean to drag this whole wedding thing out but…. here are some more pics. And yep for anyone who queried, all done with the self timer, apart from the chapel shots which are actually not that brilliant. But for $348 bucks for our whole wedding, who's complaining? Dad is still thanking me for saving him mucho dinero. No plans for the honeymoon as of yet, still saving for that, hopefully it will happen sometime this century... Take care!
