summer times

12 Sep

Whomever told me that in order to feel more at home in London, I have to first leave for a good amount of time and then return, was correct. We returned to London after spending two weeks in Devon and my love for this City has doubled if not tripled! It feels so good to be back “home” and the sunny, blustery days of my favourite season (Autumn) is just pulling at the heart strings. London, I <3 you.

Here are some instagram snapshots from the past few days wandering the Riverside Walkway by the Tower Bridge, visiting the Thames Festival and enjoying the last few days of summer. Hope you had a great weekend!

A big shout out to Will from Bright.Bazaar for including us in his Sunday Bright Links post and to Ana Maria from Anamu for the delicious pictures and listing us in her three rad links post!

summer in london

19 May


found via the UK curiosity blog, you’ve got to love london by alex silver

Had a bit of a hard morning today. Some days I can’t help waking up and wandering why I left the familiar and secure for the completely unknown. I know I’m lucky to be here and I am grateful to be able to experience this, but you know.. it just pokes you in a sore spot sometimes. Unfortunately, this meant that we didn’t make it to the Yellow Owl Workshop book launch, but we did make a batch of homemade pretzels using this recipe which obviously was delicious as we both devoured all six for lunch with 30 minutes of them coming out of the oven! Yeehaw! Plus, we even whipped up a veggie lasagna using this recipe for dinner. Double yum.

And.. just like it was trying to woo me again and carve a place out in my heart, I found this wonderful video about summer in London. I think it’s working.. well that, and the heat wave being forecasted for the next few weeks!
