This weekend has been a weekend of food, well deserved after a quite stressful week at work. On Friday, I attended a workshop at the lovely London South Bank University, so took advantage of being up in the city by going for dinner at Wahaca in Westfield. The rain was horrendous, and in hindsight, Westfield … More Will milk be made available to us?
I like afternoon tea. Whoever invented it is a genius (apparently, Anna, the 7th Duchess of Bedford. Give that woman a medal). I’m always looking for the next good reason to book a table, and it just so happens that we had a good reason this weekend, so decided to venture into Berkshire. The Vineyard is a beautiful … More There’s sugar on your soul
After unsuccessfully trying to find the God’s Own Junkyard pop-up shop in Selfridges a few weeks ago (I think I was too late), I told Tim that a trip was needed out to their place in Walthamstow soon. So when he suggested we visit as part of our art crawl last weekend, the only question I … More There is a light and it never goes out
I haven’t been able to resurrect the Qwerty row of my laptop so I’m currently typing with a tiny Bluetooth keyboard perched on my lap. It’s not the most fun I’ve had with my laptop and is a bit of a pain in the ass, so I’m going to have to think about buying a … More What’s the point of even sleeping, if I can’t show if you can’t see me
Quick, I need something to blog about. February was a bust. Nothing happened. Shall I review the car wash at the beginning of the month, or the cough mixture I bought? OOO, I know! My trusty Southbank can always be relied upon – let’s go there! Actually, I wanted to treat Husband to lunch to celebrate the first … More It’s not the city, it’s the weather we love
With an under the weather Husband firmly embedded on the sofa and the weather promising to be bright, I decided to drag Tim out of London to Windsor at the weekend. I met him at the station, and gave him a quick tour of the town centre, grabbing a coffee from my Mum and my favourite … More Hold back the wind, hold back the rain
I’m going to tell you a little secret – I am a little drunk right now. All because of the OXO Tower and their beautiful Not Afternoon Tea. Last weekend for my birthday, we were at the OXO Tower for lunch, and whilst it was lovely, I had wanted Not Afternoon Tea but it was all … More I’m full, and yet I know if I stop eating this, I’ll regret it.
My birthday this year was very South Bank centric. Husband took me shopping first of all to buy part one of my present (to follow in a separate post) from a shop at the Oxo Tower, which is my new favourite place. We had coffee at the Cafe Nero there which was almost empty, despite … More It was a unicorn, and the horn broke off, so now it’s a zebra
Husband and I had such a great day yesterday for his birthday. It started as all good birthdays should, with present opening. Lego and whisky were the main themes of his gifts from me this year, and as I sit typing this post, he’s tipping the contents of his Maersk Triple E box on to the … More Hot dog surprise – be still my heart.
Last weekend, after our amazing visit to Present and Correct pumped us up, Tim and I decided to have a bit more of a wander around Angel and Islington. I really liked what we find. Really liked it. I’ve said before that I’m not a big fan of London but everything about this area appealed … More Stumbling through irrelevant crowds to make their rendezvous
