Lilypad Hopping (Then: Jan 2009)
To make matters worse I had to find a new place to live again. I was still living in South London and terrified to get home after 9pm at night due to having been followed home by a group of drunk men as I exited the tube station one night. I wouldnt have minded so much had it been past midnight and I been dressed anywhere remotely like a hooker. But it had been barely 7pm and I was dressed in jeans and a checked shirt and had only been to Tescos. So since when was Laura Ingles with a bag of groceries so enticing?
I decided to look for a new place to live and ventured into the murky world of Gumtree. I made a snap decision and found myself living in a studio flat in North London. It was the first of many jumps from Lily pad to Lily pad as I would try and find an area that I could call home.
