I've always believed that a home is only as beautiful as the people who live in it.
Pete and Lydia's flat is just as lovely as they are.
It's spacious. Well, more spacious than what you'd be used to in London at any rate! It has lovely little personal touches like a flamingo string of lights that Pete tells me Lydia got for the house because she thought he liked flamingos.
"I just liked that ONE shirt!", he confides in me over a drink on the balcony overlooking a lit up East London.
I'm happy to have stayed with them. Happier still that I could make a REAL Indian meal for them, as opposed to the hogwash they get in the name of Indian food here.
Go stay with them.
And ask Pete about the flamingos.
