This was the very first photo I took after I arrived to the UK. It’s a milestone of a sort. I remember sitting in an deserted cafe on a bank holiday weekend, with only a suitcase at my side, waiting for the rental agent to give us the keys to the apartment that we rented over the phone and have only seen pictures of. The almost post-apocalyptic emptiness of the town makes me feel small and lost, yet my heart is bursting with a mixture of anticipation, fear and joy of having been finally reunited with my love after a month.
