Well!!! I got to England last night. Made the move from Florida. I have lived here in England before, but this time I live in an early 1800's cottage in the back of a big house that a woman lives in with her son. In my cottage I have great central heat, which is number one on my list. I have big windows, 2 skylights in the living room, a spiral staircase, a chicken that lives outside near the veggie garden. Still getting some things done around the place, but I had such a good rest on the plane that I got most done after my flight! Virgin Atlantic put me through HELL for a year, unbelievable, worst company I have EVER dealt with EVERRRRRRRR. So FINALLY they upgraded me to Premium Economy seating for the flight over. I have never been able to sleep on a plane, so it was amazing. The flight felt like 2 hours instead of 8. 2 hours of picking my meals from a menu and endless trays of drinks and hot towels. If I would have not gotten the upgrade, I would have not flown with them. They are known for having the worst economy seating, but the best upper class seating. Took them long enough for their apology seating for me. I can't even tell you what I had to go through to get it, and I still feel they did the absolute bare minimum considering. So, I do not recommend flying with them - unless you can afford the upgraded seating.

My apartment is an usual one on three floors with a spiral staircase in an old Regency period property, which would be much better if I had not bought it unaware of some issues with damp. So it is in need of doing up... It is great for noise though. The walls are thick and it's great not being affected by noise from neighbours.
