I have been house sitting in Osborne for the past week and am loving it. Not only is it super close to school, but it has so many cool shops and friendly people. Let’s just say, it didn’t take me long to fall in love with the hip and trendy village.
Here is a photo essay I made of the area and some of the people that make up the community:
