One of the happiest periods of my life were the years I spent in Halifax, while studying at King's College. I enjoyed the time I spent in residence, but I loved the time I spent flatting.
In my third year I lived in the flat in front of
LeeAnn, Alison C.M., Megan,
LeeAnn and
Marilla. I spent a LOT of time in the flat behind mine. So much so that
LeeAnn used to cook dinner for me most nights. Once, I went over and the door was unlocked, but no one was home. Rather than lock the door and leave, I settled myself comfortably in Megan's
papasan chair and had a snooze until they came home. I had to keep the flat safe, of course!
In my fourth year, I lived with
LeeAnn, Al and
Marilla (and watched some questionable films with Megan.) We had a blast.
I'd say more, but what happens in Halifax, stays in Halifax.
After university we all went our separate ways, as friends tend to do. Some of us stayed in touch, lived together or in the same cities etc, but we were all fairly scattered. Through the magic of
Facebook, we've all reconnected once again.
We were all pretty adventurous and we got on fabulously. This adventurous nature lead us all to lead lives as expats. The lovely and talented Alison had the great idea to interview the lot of us - since we all set off from a similar point, to explore where we are now and how we got there. Megan was first to be posted - read it
here.
Mine will be up soon also. I'll be posting a link to all the interviews as they come up.
