If I emptied my bag you’d find an oyster card, a pair of mittens, a BlackBerry, a high rise building swipe card and a small bound black leather note pad. These simple little objects have started to define my time in the city I now call home – London.
My name is Amanda and I am a long way from the farm I grew up on in rural NSW. I moved to London two years ago for a work opportunity, a taste of adventure in the big city and the one hour golden flight to the Continent. Until recently my life has been about my career, following the usual trends; long work hours, networking sessions (read: trashy Friday drinks) and a poor relationship score card. This year is different.
This year I’m going to give myself an internal make-over. I’m going to become a thirty-something domestic goddess to impress my snazzy new boyfriend. This year I’m going to learn how to cook, attempt to sit still and try on a more balanced lifestyle. I’m going to carry a handbag with domestic goddess objects to off-set the corporate high flyer ones.
I’m so excited about this blog and am looking forward to sharing the ups and downs of eclectic London whilst discovering how the girls are getting on in Honkers and Sydney.
