Arrived safely this morning at Heathrow, made it through customs, and due to the riots, our ride was late picking us up from the airport. Evidently the city closed down, like, everything stopped running by 3pm yesterday, and the area that were were scheduled to stay, and to look for flats - Ealing, well, apparently people set a few buildings on fire last night....
This is a big deal, but appears to be calming down, and we feel relatively safe.
It was a beautiful day, I went straight to school, and wow - this building is an estate! Many of the rooms look like rooms in a museum, full with frescos on ceilings, excessive crown moulding, spiral staircases, etc. Pictures to accommodate this shitty description shortly.
Em and I are in Uxbridge, having dinner, and though I will have a full morning at school tomorrow, we can hopefully look at flats tomorrow!
Big Love!

Where's the big fat "LIKE" button?? Especially that "excessive crown moulding" bit. Can't wait to read the rest of your entries, Jo. Wishing you an amazing adventure and deep sense of fulfillment in all you're doing! Even if it gets lonely ... that, too, is rich.
