5x5: The Places I've Lived

25 September 2006

  1. Upper Holloway: An attic room and then the room one floor down, in a house with 7 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 2 kitchens, a terrace and a garden - and an eye opening assortment of flatmates. I used to love standing on the terrace there, looking out over the rooftops of North London, towards the BT Tower, just trying to get to grips with the fact that I'd really done it. I really lived in London.

  2. Camden: A funky upside-down flat, shared with a semi-absent flatmate, which was fabulous until semi-absent moved back full time, didn't bother to be considerate about her smoking habit (which she'd neglected to mention) and stole my frying pan and boiler broke down and didn't get fixed for a month.

  3. Holloway: The dream flat. I had to pinch myself to check I really was awake and really did live there. Getting what I wished for came with a far higher price than I'd ever expected.

  4. Alexandra Palace: The right place, at the right time, with the right flatmate.

  5. Upper Holloway: Almost back where I started, in a fabulous attic room that's not become my home (in the truest sense of the word), despite my having lived here for 7 months now. That said, time marches on, things change and maybe that will too...

Yes, I agree with that thought.

Your little Garrett Room certainly has the makings of "A Home" about it... :-)

It is certainly a Yarny Nest! ;-)

My last flat was in Cyprus. Only for 2 weeks with my boyfriend. Great time and taking a rest. Also the fabulous ocean, romantic evenings and amazing moon-glades.
The next flat is here, in Cologne. My boyfriend comes from Germany and I stay with him.
