Ahh, 2007. We arrived in Glasgow, and settled into a shiny, clean flat. As to this being June: I think something was amiss with the photo scanner, because we didn’t really get here for another few months. I was still shooting film back then, so am not responsible for that.
In any event, the flat was beautiful, yet remote from school and any place to go grocery shopping. We enjoyed it for awhile, but are much happier to be away from it. 2007 really was a rough year of transition, for us.

2008: the first sign of the heater evil. We were so traumatized by the whole incident with the boiler in our Angel Building flat. Carbon monoxide, endless workmen, no central heat. When we first found out about the issue, the gas man told us to just leave. He said that it’d take months to resolve. We couldn’t believe him. Oh, woe. Months without heat later, we finally gave up.

In 2009, though, we were happily ensconced in a new flat, and were off to the Dolomites for a vacation. For those of you who don’t know us very well, you have to understand: we usually drag someone else along. This is probably part of our upbringing (well, my upbringing), and has to do with vacations being learning experiences, carried out in a large group (3 siblings, here). So, it was an odd thing for us, going off somewhere by ourselves, just … seeing things, going where we wanted, and not being obligated to be anywhere for any reason.

OK, I joined your site! Finally, getting caught up. Ha Ha, I come from a big family too!! 😉 And was very used to having people around, all around, all the time. Sounds like you are adjusting well, to your small family, as am i. Enjoy! ~dgm
