London, UK

Well after 6 weeks in London we can finally report some progress on the job and flat front!

Richard is relief teaching at primary and secondary schools in London and is getting plenty of work (and gets paid more than Alice). Alice has just got a job with Arla Foods, at a factory where they produce drinking milk and potted cream for supermarkets.

We managed to find a flat really quickly and after 5 weeks of dossing have finally got our own room in Golders Green, London. It's a really nice area. Very green with a huge park, nearby which is fantastic.

Here are some London pic's:

LONDON!

Two days after we arrived we meet up with Tim just before he flew back to NZ and he gave us a short tour of London (mainly the pubs)

Let's hope dogs can read and kids don't use this as a sandpit
