Hello London!

Things I discovered on my recent trip to London:

• It hadn't really missed me. But I'd missed my friends.
  
• My flatmate hasn't missed me. The whole flat has a feel of "you don't live here anymore". There are fresh flowers, new scatter cushions, and I'm sure I spotted pots of paint in the bathroom cupboard.
  
• Cycling is joyous! What possible fun can I have cycling to BBC Wales through parks and across rivers when I could be pedalling through six lanes of traffic on the Euston road? Bah.
  
• It's surprisingly easy to leave. Hence gatecrashing a wedding in Oxford at the weekend. Thanks, Darian.
