We've settled in really nicely in our new place, it's perfect for the two of us but we're actually falling more and more in love with the whole area as time goes on.

There's a Co-Operative Food just down the road, which is perfect for food shopping and household products because they're not tested on animals, and there's a Lush on the high street which isn't too far away, and that's where I get all my toiletries and beauty products.

There'a really nice collection of boutiques right around the corner from my house, so if I need a quick break or something I can just pop down there for a browse. My favourite is Sugarhill boutique which sells these gorgeous little dresses, I have my eye on a couple of them already, hopefully they won't sell before I finally make my mind up and buy them!
