We got the keys on Friday, and our air shipment with a few items for the flat, arrived that day as well. After taking the train and then the tube from Reading to London on Friday night with five or so suitcases in total (yes, just picture it), we ended up sleeping in our new place. We spent the weekend unpacking and sorting out our flat, which included a few trips to M&S (per usual) and Waitrose (a food chain store similar to Safeway which is great for bulk shopping and the essentials). We now have a partially stocked kitchen, which falls a bit short in the refrigeration department (we currently have a dorm-size fridge/freezer…I should have known my love of small items would someday haunt me).
We also ventured out to Westfield Mall (same chain that’s in the states) for a few home goods and found it to be gigantic but also incredibly nice. After we’d had enough settling in, we went to the pub with some new friends to watch the Chelsea match, and then out with some other new friends to West Kensington and Chelsea. Overall a very eventful weekend!
