The new year in the United Kingdom is coming in with a blustery blast. Today in London we’re seeing heavy rain, strong wind, a generally unpleasant environment. Looks like our plans for a walk to central London may be on hold until the storm passes. Northern England and Scotland are getting even stronger weather – a big winter storm to begin the new year.
There was a massive fireworks show in central London on New Year’s Eve. We decided not to brave the huge crowds, and spent a quiet evening in our apartment. We do have a nice view of Greenwich and the southeastern London skyline. At midnight, it seemed the whole city that we could see erupted in fireworks. The sight and sound was amazing.
So, we’ve started a new year. For me it will be another year of work in London. Looking forward to the work challenges that will come, and likely some travel to various places in the world.
Living abroad has been good for us. We loved our time in Japan, and are now enjoying life as London residents. This part of our lives will come to a close far too soon, so we want to make the most of our time in the next year. We’ll share some of our experiences in this blog, so stay tuned – more to come.
Four Years in Japan ... and now Three Years in London
