Been around...

Sometimes,i start my day with a lemon...
no i just wanted to show you this nice tone of yellow.



I haven't updated SEFblog in a bit, because my mum and aunt were visiting in London,and they definitely kept me busy and around the country,from early morning till not so late because they liked to sleep early!
It was good to have them around,i believe that a taste of what we all call "home" brings us back to reality most of the times anyway...They stayed with me this time,and it wouldn't have been their preference ,because if it was for them they would have changed and cleaned every angle of this house...but, we still had a good time.I mean they literally changed the whole setting of the room im in and it's much better now...to prove my point ,my mum washed the floor of my room 15 minutes before they took off on the train to go to the airport ...call them crazy .... and i will fully agree with you.

Well i been around in Finsbury park ,Watford ,Aldgate east ,Whitechapel ,Mile end , Russell square and even went up to Leicester...
So, from cafe place to another we went around the UK in 3 days... 



The first day we went to finsbury park and then we went all the way up to Watford or even further i think...We went to a very big factory ... 
The area was much cleaner then then the other areas in London and the houses much bigger... but nothing much going on of course.. I always thought London would have been sleepless everywhere ,everyday ,but let me tell you ... it not like that !











The next day we made our way to King Cross station to catch our train to Leicester... If you've been in London more then a couple of years ago,then you won't remember King's Cross St.Pancras station to be this way, they re-done it and now it looks more like a shopping centre/station ... looks great.










We got on the train and started our journey to Leicester which i never been... so i didn't know what to expect...









...and yes i am still wearing flip flops,because the back of my feet is still hurting and even though flip flops are so tiring i couldn't do any other way...couldn't wear anything that covers my the back of my feet !



As we got to Leicester...again i thought it's a very clean place...and we met a few people that suggested that we go and visit the new shopping centre in the centre of Leicester.. which is called "Highcross".
It's huge and you'll find everything that you usually find in malls or shopping arcades...Apparently it got refurbished and extended.















That was Leicester for us today...and then we headed back to the train station to go back to London! It was a long day,woke up very early  and walked alot as well ... but i don't regret going.







The journey takes about one hour and fifteen minutes; it was a bit annoying that there was no Internet on the train, so of course I was simply enjoying the furry green scenery all the way to today’s destination “Leicester” and then back to London.

Leicester is a bit too empty for my likes, but very very clean and has nice houses… the majority of the people there are Indian, so it’s more like an Indian community…





Got back to London...





We decided we wanted some good cooking,so they took me to this Italian restaurant in Russell's square that we always go to when they're in town.



They have walls covered of postcards and photos from all over the world, but it's a shame that i didn't see one of Malta...well,maybe it was on a different wall !



The next day we went to the east sides of London...i used to live in Aldgate east/whitechapel areas for a year.We had lunch at a Marrakech cafe place and then went around for a bit...





Today it brought back so many memories... and the only thing i was thinking was that time sure flies so quickly ,that sometimes i don't even have a minute to stop and think how far i've came in life and how far i want to go.
