On the 21st of this month, I will have lived in the UK for 7 years. Of that 7 years, I will have lived in London for 4 1/2 years. I was looking through some photo albums recently, when it dawned on me that living here, I’d never taken photos of those ‘iconically British’ things – the post box, the telephone box and the Routemaster Bus. So, inbetween my normal activities, I kept an eye out for these and managed to complete the set pretty quickly. So, in celebration of my 7 year montheversary, here are some iconic London moments taken over the last week.

365-42 to 365-48 A Week in Pictures
The days around here are cold and wet at the moment. Our holiday was cancelled, and our roof is leaking rain water. There is much to be frustrated about and down about, and yet days are filled with moments of beauty. And it’s in those moments that we make our memories.
365-28 to 365-34 A week in Pictures
Playing a bit of catch up here, as I’ve not had time to edit and post photos in a while!

365-27 Nature Path, Whitstable, Kent
It was freezing cold walking along the coastal path, but lovely and very fresh!
On Red Tape and Checklists
A few weeks ago, Kyra and I returned to our embassy to register her birth and request her passport. After the madness of our first trip, I was well prepared for this one. Forms completed and signed, photographs taken, passports, birth certificates, marriage certificate, a bottle of expressed milk, nappies, a book to read… what could possibly go wrong?
