Wow!<br /><br />I've found a few good flat white options in the Clapham area, but am always open to finding new spots! Thx! :)Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11920366609527181388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6104067274494549802.post-75448485057743081772016-07-28T07:21:20.151-04:002016-07-28T07:21:20.151-04:00Hi Erin, if you need any advice, please let me kno...Hi Erin, if you need any advice, please let me know. Happy to help! Luckily, hubby's company handled our UK visas and residence permits, so that wasn't too bad. It's really the little things that are a PIA - bank accounts, internet, setting up electric and gas, etc. You even need to buy a TV license if you want cable. Such an ordeal! <br /><br />Hopefully I can pass along any tips I learn to you. :)Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11920366609527181388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6104067274494549802.post-18341169470720774492016-07-28T07:18:07.767-04:002016-07-28T07:18:07.767-04:00Thanks Arnie!

Actually on our first day I decided it would be a great idea to go for a walk down Borough High Street with our 10 month old twins... not one of my better ideas. Having lived here for nearly two years I can confidently point you in the direction of an excellent flat white. Take care (Melburnian living in London!)Katyhttp://www.untoldmorsels.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6104067274494549802.post-51111560078267592992016-07-25T09:36:58.797-04:002016-07-25T09:36:58.797-04:00Hi Joy!

Right now I'm in the middle of all the visa paperwork, so I haven't even begun to plan all my tasks once I arrive. I'll definitely be making a note re: Lloyd's for a bank.
