Awesomest Library Ever: Amsterdam Schipol Airport Library

This literally stopped me in my tracks on my way back to Tanzania. A library. At an airport. It was a beautiful use of space and one of the most perfect things I've ever seen.

 They had books in all different languages that you could read whilst waiting for a flight, and well as a series of different seats and places to watch videos about Amsterdam on Ipads.

There was also the most beautifully designed children's playroom, which sang birdsong.

The whole place was wonderfully empty. Perhaps the best part of the whole experience was coming across this professional pianist, playing a grand piano in a small corner of the library to an audience of two.

The experience made me question why we don't have more spaces like this in the world, and why more people don't use them.

Tea and Wedding Dress

I went to Guildford with Debbie and Louise and my Mum and Dad. We drink tea in a super cute tearoom and I bought a wedding dress. It's nothing like what I had in mind of like those other pictures I posted that I thought I was going to buy. I really wish I could post a picture of it, but I will just have to wait until the wedding to show you!

Chinatown

 I went to Chinatown with my lovely friend Crystal. We ate Chinese food and gossiped. Then we went shopping for Chinese goods. It was all very delicious and made me think that maybe I should be moving to China instead! London, I love you and I'm feeling sad to leave.

It Never Rains: A Play

 My friend Shaun put on a great play. It wasn't his first, but it was the first time I was in the UK to actually go and watch one of them. The play was about a couple who had split up. There were only two actors. It was awkward and funny in a good way. Have you ever written a play? I wrote a radio play one time. It was hard!

Retro Bowling

 Leanne and I went to this awesome retro Bowling alley called All Star Lanes. They had retro music and lots of cocktails. It made me want to move back to London. London has way more fun stuff happening than Tanzania! Tanzania is beautiful and I love the empty open space. I know I'll miss it when I move away. But I miss living in London right now.

After the bowling we went for a long walk. Apparently this big thing called 'The Shard' has been built since I was last here. Huh. It looks sort of funny.

 London, one day I will move back to you! I don't know when, but someday!

Thatcher's Funeral

I happened to be passing by, and this is what I saw. The police had prepared for a much bigger crowd.

Awesome Graffiti

When I come to England I get to see many of my favourite people, which makes me feel warm and happy inside. One of these faves is Leanne: a real life Londoner! She took me to brick lane to hang with the cool kids and there was so much wonderful graffiti!
