What did we do before the internet? Here's an aerial photo of our new house thanks to Live Maps (which is so much better than Google MapsIMO). You can put in almost any postcode, then click "birds eye" to zoom in really quite close, then use the arrows to see the building from other angles. Kind of scary, but also very compelling and useful (eg check out your holiday villa's location - is it really a stones throw from the beach? etc etc)
Here you can see we're an end of terrace three story house, at the end of a dead end street and we're surrounded by gardens. A terrific location for kids, especially after living on the edge of a noisy estate for the last five years! I do love our uber modern (ugly) ex council flat but I'm sure I'm going to love our quiet "grown up" house even more.
I'm into architecture, design, music, travel and cooking. Since arriving in London in 1999 I have worked in digital media and publishing (including Wallpaper* and PORTER magazines), had two children and travelled a lot. I am currently working in advertising doing content strategy. This blog was to document my house renovation project, but for the time being, it's more or less done...
