Settled In - aka "Feels like home"

How long does it take for a new city to feel like home? For me, just under two weeks. Okay, if they didn't have arrows with "look this way" at EVERY street crossing, and I actually had to count money instead of using plastic, it might not be as seamless to settle in and feel comfortable. The fact that a) there is no language barrier, b) most of the food is familiar and c) signs are in English really give London an edge over some of the places we are planning on living.

Today we took the train the Bath, our first excursion outside of London. We had a lovely day, saw a number of Bridgerton and Jane Austen sites, and enjoyed some "bunns" at lunch for which Bath is known. When we arrived back at Paddington Station and started walking, we had just planned on walking around one mile to the Baker Street Station searching for gelato or fro-yo on the way (had to "settle" for Baskin Robins); but after enjoying our ice cream, we noticed that Regent's Park was at the end of the block!

My whole selection process of finding a flat here was based on being near Regent's Park so once we saw it was nearby we knew we could easily walk the additional two miles, and the nearer we got towards "home" the more it really felt like we were coming home, not to just to "a place" but to "our place", and what a great feeling that is.

I will never learn to think in celsius or kilos, but get me near Camden and all is good.
