I would like to start this post by saying a huge thanks to everyone who commented the blog. I was so happy to see people are reading my blog and actually enjoy it. Please keep commenting I love hearing from you!
OK, someone wanted to know a little about my life before moving it London. I moved to London when I was 18, and become an English student at King's College London. I am a welsh girl through and through. I am slightly embarrassed to say that I do have a welsh accent, however, I do love it because it sets me out from the crowd in London. The welsh accent also comes in handy when I make a fool of myself, like the time I got my heel stuck in the escalator on the London underground. I seriously don't think I have ever been that embarrassed in my life. After a huge amount of tugging the seriously cute guy behind me offers to help (by this point I just wanted the ground to swallow me.) Now, this guy has that sense about him that just says, 'I have the whole of London in the palm of my hand.' He simply smiled at me and said, 'take your foot out of the shoe, and with the simplest of twists, just like magic it was out. At this point I put on the strongest Welsh accent I could muster and replied, 'oh, that's how these things work. We don't get electricity in Wales so I'm a little new to these moving stairs!'
I have no idea why I said it, but it just came spilling out of my mouth before I had time to stop it. I just grabbed my shoe and swiftly walked off! I'm sure I must have robbed a bank in a past life to receive that much humiliation in just 2 minutes.
Anyways, back to the good old life in Wales. I grew up in a small town, you know the place where everyone knows everyone, and you can't walk down the street without seeing at least 5 people you know. I love Wales for many reason, but one of top reasons is because anyone will start a conversation with you. One time I walked into boots to buy some make-up and out of no where a woman turns around and starts informing me that it's her birthday on Saturday, and she thought she would make an effort and buy some lipstick. This Lady starting telling me all this information about how she doesn't usually wear make up so doesn't know what colour would suit her. The next thing I know I've been standing there for half an hour helping her to choose the best colour.
I've been living in London for 7 years, and I absolutely LOVE it! Where else can you get a hair cut and shop until 9 at night! People are a little bit loopy here but you get used to it, and it adds to London's character. For an example, today in work I was listening to Chloe phoning a customer to inform them that Russell Brand autobiography called 'My Bookie Wook' has just arrived at the store. This is what I heard;
Chloe: Hello, Mrs Davidson, It's Chloe from the Bookstore. I'm just ringing to let you know my bookie wook is in the shop.
Taking a slip of my Coffee just before hearing that wasn't the best idea, as I now have to replace the keyboard by tomorrow morning b4 the manager finds out what happened!
I don't really have much more to say today, but keep commenting, and let me know what you want to hear about!
Note to Self;
Why have you not noticed how gorgeous Colin Farrell is before tonight?!?

Colin Farrell is gorgeous!
I too would have spewed coffee hearing that the bookie wookie was in!
I loved Wales when we visited there. My husband is from the Birmingham area but always went on holiday to Barmouth and took me there as well as a few other places in Wales, I could see retiring there! I loved it but I also loved London for other "big city" reasons. It's so strange getting used to the hours that shops keep in the UK. Over here in the US we have stuff open 24 hours so you can shop anytime! It's amazing!
