The inimitable Gala Darling hosts a weekly exercise in thankfulness called Things I Love Thursday (TiLT), which I have been meaning to start participating in for a while now. So, for my very first TiLT, here's a London-themed list of loveliness!
The Tube. It's not ideal, but it's certainly helpful! © Walking along the Southbank and watching all the buskers. © The abundance of riches when it comes to markets and festivals (two of my absolute favourite things!) here. Camden Markets alone are probably the size of half of Victoria's downtown core. © The amazing people I've met in the hostel, on the streets, and at work. © My awesome job. Getting to work with books all day every day! © BUNAC, the organization that I'm here with. They've provided all kinds of advice and support while I've been here (and helped me out so much when I sprained my ankle.) I'm so glad I decided to do this through them. © The history and culture that surround me every day. My hostel is down the street from a pub that both Shakespeare and Dickens used to frequent and wrote about, and a ten minute walk from the Globe and the Tate Modern. I work right by where Douglas Adams used to live, and the Booker Prize winner came in to sign books the other day. © Whenever I'm able to find a decent cup of coffee! © Conversely, the tea here is amazing. © The Borough Market, which is literally across the street from my hostel and has the most amazing food. © London Walks! This tour company's got over 50 guided walks, led by real experts and/or trained actors. I've only gone on the Jack the Ripper one so far, but I can't wait to do more. © My stepmom coming to visit in less than a month. © Harrods is really really cool. The food halls look like something out of Harry Potter.
How delightful! I tend to do this a lot too but I take pictures rather than write. Love how you use that symbol, you typographic goddess, you.
