Settling down in Plymouth

Grand Parade, Plymouth, a good half an hour brisk walk away from the city, away from all the noise and traffic. Well, this is looking at things positively I guess. I have to hypnotize myself that I am still able to go to the city in times when I do not have the transport. At the moment, I am still without internet connection in the apartment. Leeching a friend's internet connection every weekend haha

My apartment is just next to the sea, and here's the living room. I have a fireplace!
*fireplace just for show, no fire allowed*

Its a comfy place, however it gets cold at night due to the sea breeze and also the heater which is not in tip top condition. Brrrrr.... not a good thing with winter just around the corner.

A great view of the sea from the living room window, the military dock is just on the right of my house, sometimes I can see some big ships passing by. I would like to think that those are destroyers , but I am not sure. This morning I only shot some yachts and the big mansion across on the rocky island. I wonder how one goes to that mansion.

Here's the mansion up close.

Seagulls are everywhere, even in the city. This one was wandering at the garden at the ground floor, outside the apartment. There are some models of warships and subs along the waterfront walkway. There are benches as well for those who wish to have a longer look at the sea.

For the moment, I am still rather satisfied with this place, just the lack of internet connectivity gets to my head sometimes. *crosses fingers* Hope I get connected soon.
