As usual I left flat-hunting till the last minute, but I've found somewhere that I think I'll be happy with. It's a little more out of the way than where I am now, but that doesn't really matter, and it's quite close to some nice countryside. I could see actual trees and sheep and stuff from the windows.
Also, it's a bit more expensive than where I currently live, but it's not a ‘studio flat’ (large bed-sit), but a proper self-contained flat with a separate bedroom. And it's a hell of a lot more modern and swanky than my current abode. I got a few snaps while I was looking at it:
My only minor nitpicks are the small amount of freezer space and the large number of steps I have to go up to get to the flat, but I think I can live with both of these.
Now I just have to sort out the paper work and figure out how to move in.
