your new place sounds SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!! I wish I could find a cottage next door!!!! I'm so proud of how you handled yourself during your entire move--you have been really strong and together!!! I want to hear more ideas about your new life in London Town!!!
I am also so pumped that you are going to yoga!!! maybe some day I could try bikram with you and you could try anusara with me, like a yoga style trade??
I really think friendship is the way to go. I'm not sure that there's any way around it. And especially, it worked for you guys before, right?
