Observations on West Hampstead

According to the web and the company at brunch, our new neighbours include:
1. Stephen Fry, and
2. Chain-smoking middle-aged women who refer to the All Blacks as "bahstahds". (The UK is in a state of collective outrage over the result of yesterday's test match or more specifically the first two minutes.)

The Indian restaurant that is 0.02 miles from our house (i.e. on the corner) has an "Outstanding Achievement" award in its window :-)

From West Hampstead Thameslink station you can get trains to East London, Luton Airport, Kings Cross, the city, Elephant & Castle, Richmond and Kew.

Kilburn High Road is just not all that nice, when it comes down to it.

We're waiting to hear whether Jules has accepted the job at Credit Suisse. Will this mean you can be a lady of leisure, Rac? 14 stops isn't that many in the bigger scheme of things is it? Look forward to hearing whether the Outstanding Achievement award is a cunning ploy to get clientele?

The denizons of West Hampstead may not like the All Blacks very much but the Lions that they sent over here are turning out to be just pussy cats! Perhaps if you are looking for tigers in London you may also like to look out for some real Lions while you are at it.
