The LWAT Guide to “The LWAT Guide to Completing the London Metro Memory Game…Kinda”
So on Friday night I took an unwanted diversion on the Central Line and stood outside Leytonstone tube for 35 minutes waiting for a bus. Instead of relaxing when I got in and never thinking about the tube again, I … Continue reading

Platform 9 3/4
There’s a date that’s been in the diary for an untold amount of time and that’s Eva’s 9 3/4 birthday. I say “untold” because I really have no idea how log ago I put it in there. I remember her … Continue reading
