My Flat

Here are some pictures of my flat in north London :)

This is my street-Kimberley Gardens-which is right off the main road of a vibrant, diverse (mainly Turkish) community in Harringey.

63 Kimberley Gardens

The main entryway--with Tom's mod podge table drying on the floor

My bedroom (my part of it, at least. Thalia's bed, desk, and drawers are behind this view)!

Stairs up to our kitchen (there are 2 in the house because there are 6 of us living here now)--there's a bathroom at the top and bottom of these stairs.

Our kitchen
The roommates-me and Thalia!

Stratford-upon-Avon

On Friday Oberlin-in-London took us to Stratford-upon-Avon, William Shakespeare's hometown! It was so amazing. We took a coach through the lovely English countryside and had the afternoon to explore before seeing the Tempest performed by the Royal Shakespeare Company. Here are some pics of the town--




Shakespeare's birthplace



Shakespeare's burial site in Holy Trinity Church--the bust of Shakespeare has a quill in the hand that is replaced yearly, in case he ever wants to come back and write more!
