My new kitchen

I have moved in, finally, to a place in Brixton. It is great, my housemates lovely, my room cosy and the house itself tidy, warm and friendly. The kitchen, too, is perfect for everything I need. It is not the biggest in the world, but it is well proportioned and we have every utensil and […]
