perspective

We had a recent "snowfall" in the UK, with eastern Britain getting the worst of the storm. A whole 2 centimeters of snow fell in London. Brilliant. And while the weather forecasters were all warning of the dangerous road conditions, I couldn't help thinking, This is soooo much better than Boston!

Point being, it's all about perspective...how things appear from different people's point-of-view...I'm finding that my perspective on many things has changed in just the few short weeks that I've been here in England. For one, I'm actually imagining myself making this place my home. Of course, I'm still always dreaming of Paris. ; Secondly, I'm discovering that I haven't quite mastered the English language as I thought I had. The Queen's English is all together different. But I'm adapting... Thirdly, Britons are far friendly than they give themselves credit for being. Obviously, they haven't met Bostonians. Hmmm...what else?...oh, before moving here, I thought I'd never meet another attractive and intelligent guy over 5'10". Happily, there are quite a few "fit" gentlemen strolling through London, all of them well-dressed and tall. Granted, I only watch from a far, but at least there's plenty of eye candy to enjoy.

Yep, I definitely fancy life in London.
