Our home


We live on the top floor here. There are three seperate dwellings. Some dude called Clarence the Beatnik* (*not his real name) lives in the flat below us, and there is supposedly a girl renting the basement flat, but she is from Georgia and is visiting there at the moment (Georgia in the states or the country Georgia I am not sure).


This is the view from our lounge/bedroom. In the background you can see Victoria park. The stepped buildings are very typical of where we live. I must have taken this photo in the middle of a weekday as there are not many parked cars, the street is usually full of cars seeing as nobody has a garage.


This is another view from our lounge/bedroom. I think this is particularly interesting because of the 'spider web' power pole feeding power to all the flats around us (or maybe telephone lines, I wouldn't recognise the difference). Please note the purple house up the road, there is always one isn't there?

The view from our back room is of the local mosque. We don't really use the back room for much, at the moment it looks like an enormous wardrobe with clothes strewn everywhere. Although it will be the guest room when we have visitors.

We bought this table and chairs second hand for £15, and picked up the cushions for a fiver at sainsburys. The table was a very welcome addition to the flat after a week or so of sitting on the floor, it was killing my back.


This here is our bedroom/lounge. We bought a mattress not long after moving in, before this we were sleeping on an air mattress, which was killing my back. As you can imagine we tidied up considerably for this photo, there is usually crap all over the place.

I hope you enjoyed some photos of our place. Soon I hope to get some pictures of Bristol up here, or perhaps on my flickr account.

Those pictures are pretty cool; your flat looks cute! I enjoy the new layout as well. I hope you two are having a great time!

What I object to is that you've already fallen into the local vernacular. DID YOU FORGET EVERYTHING ABOUT SPEAKING CANADIAN CHRIST
