EAST PUTNEY – A LIFE ON WEST HILL
October 23, 2016–January 06, 2017
London, England, United Kingdom
Margit & Christian
From the end of October 2016 until the beginning of January 2017 we had the fantastsic opportunity to stay at our friend's Carscht's place in the South West of London, namely in booming Putney – well East Putney to be precise from where it's not far to Wimbledon, Fulham or even Chelsea. It is a lovely area surrounded by beautifully green areas like Wimbledon Commons or the gorgeous Richmond Park. So when we heard of this fantastic opportunity we did not think twice, packed our gear, jumped in our car, saw some friends on the way up (thanks to all of them for being such wonderful hosts!!!) and relocated our home office to the amazing City of London. A vibrant, fast paced and modern city it stole our hearts and blew our minds right from the start. Here is a photo blog which we hope can at least try to show the life we lived for this still too short period of time and the magic we saw, breathed and experienced every bloody single day. Enjoy the ride!
