I love nothing more than a bit of culture-vulturing and it must run in the family because even before my Mom and Dad arrive for a visit to London, we have about 10 things on our hit-list! They visited in late January and we spent a fantastic afternoon exploring. The glimpse of Hampton Court Palace […]

My 30 day blogging challenge
Hi followers, It’s been a little while since I’ve been in the habit of regular posting so I thought what better way to get my creative juices flowing than to set a deadline! I most definitely work better to a countdown or a goal, so I’m really excited to see what daily writing will bring […]
Doing what my fridge magnet tells me to…
Do more of what makes you happy. Sounds easy right? Spend time doing the things that give you a little glow, a feeling of contentment and happiness. I love this quote by Carmel McConnell and it’s an attitude that I try to live my life by. Believe me, I don’t always find this easy. I […]
Immunity Boosting Foods with Dr Sarah Brewer
If you have a tendency to reach for a heavy bowl of carbs and dive under your duvet on these cold, dark evenings, it’s time to break the cycle! I spoke to Dr Sarah Brewer, medical doctor, author, registered nutritionist and nutritional therapist to find out her go-to foods to stay fit and healthy during the […]
The Dorm: Lisbon
Sitting within the vibrant and creative LX FACTORY in Alcântara Lisbon, THE DORM is a hostel that offers more than just a bed. Opened in September, it offers visitors the chance to stay in one of the coolest and most vibrant creative areas of Lisbon. LX FACTORY reminds me of Brick Lane, Shorditch and Hackney, parts of […]
Right on our doorstep
I’m letting you in on a little secret, this picture wasn’t taken near the coast, or in a leafy country village, it was taken smack bang in the middle of N4 at Stoke Newington West Reservoir Centre. If you stop by, you’ll see a hive of activity with boats and kayaks bobbing about on the […]
Crate Brewery: Hackney Wick
I had three things that I wanted to do yesterday, sit by water, enjoy the sun and have a beer. Look no further that Crate Brewery and Pizzeria if you’re looking for an afternoon similar to mine! I love the location of this bar nestled on the side of the canal, just a few minutes walk […]
North London summer strolls
A bit of a detour on my way back from the supermarket yesterday meant that I stopped by two great local shops and saw some great street art and architecture along the way. I love living in north London and just when I think I’ve got to grips with where I live, I find something […]
Frank’s Cafe
Possibly one of the most talked about car park roofs in South London, Frank’s Cafe in Peckham is the perfect bar to stop by for great skyline views and a laid-back vibe. It has been on my list of places to visit for ages now and I was so happy to see it in all […]
The Horniman Museum
I’ve heard that the Horniman Museum is one of London’s best kept secrets and with the sun shining brightly this weekend, it seemed the perfect Sunday outing! My parents were over visiting and we love exploring a new suburb, exhibition or attraction, so the Horniman fit the bill perfectly! This museum has been open since […]
