Since I last wrote, I have welcomed my first visitors from Canada (my aunt and uncle on their way back from visiting Belgium!) and I have been visiting a few local attractions. Here are a few of my favourite pictures so far.

You can't live in London and not once go on the London Eye
(Ok, you can...but I'm still a semi-tourist so I went anyway):
Some of my favourite food places so far (the pictures are
from The Delaunay):
A quick visit to Portsmouth Harbour, those are
(clockwise): the HMS Warrior, the HMS Victory and Admiral Nelson's cabin aboard

Some random pictures of attractions I have visited
over the past few weeks. They are (clockwise): The Natural History Museum, the
Royal Institution of Great Britain which houses the singing periodic table,
some friends and I at the Royal Institution, the Victoria & Albert Museum
