Saturday morning.
I’ve just gone swimming and I’m walking home via Portobello Road stocking up on bread, ham, cheese and tomatoes for a sandwich. I look around me and have a moment of clarity.
Amongst the chaotic push and shove of the tourists jostling down the road, I am at home.
I know the people that work on this street. I bump into friends here. I have lived here only a year but I feel part of the community.
This blog is, on one hand, completely self indulgent. I want to capture everything I’m experiencing so I can remember it.
On the other hand, by writing about it I’m opening up some of the secrets of the place that you won’t access by walking down Portobello Road with a thousand others on a Saturday morning.
Life’s good here. It’s diverse and exciting and I want to shout it from the rooftops!
