Welcome

Hello!

I thought that with the new year and everything, I would have a go at this blogging lark, since I read enough of them myself!

I don't know if anyone will even read these, but even from a totally vain POV it'll be helpful to get a sort of visual distillation of my likes and style. 

The name probably requires some explanation; I like me a good eiderdown, they're warm, retro and they remind me of Mary Poppins. In the delirium of post-xmas detox and in an effort to start the year as I mean to go on, I decided to give it a positive spin. Who would read a blog called Eider Down, it's a little too melancholy for where I'm aiming to pitch this thing, so instead, Eider Up!!

As for content, I'm going to stick recipes, music and movies, what I'm up to, what I'm currently liking and, in an effort to make the most of living in the capital despite my loathing for it, London Likes - a few things I've discovered here that aren't so bad.

Anyway, hope you'll read and enjoy!
