we made a home

I've moved around quite a bit over the past few years - some places are more memorable than others and some I would certainly rather forget. My favourite of these temporary dwellings has been my apartment on Locke Street in Hamilton. I loved cooking in the spacious kitchen (how I took this for granted), hiding away in the cozy little bedroom, tucked at the back, and running across the street for a bagel in the morning - I could spend a whole weekend cooped up in there and not mind at all (except for when I was visited by a little whiskered intruder). Now, living in a high rise in Korea, I've had to turn a rather austere loft into some semblance of a home; a familiar haven within this foreign culture. And with the help of a special someone, it's become just that - a wonderful little space with some art on the walls, scrabble in the corner, and lots of silly dancing filling the room.
