summer nights

cheese, wine and good company. definitely my favourite way to spend a beautiful summer evening. because hey, let's face it, we don't get many of them here in london.

moosh

i stumbled upon moosh one day and promptly dragged my lovely friend paola along to try it out. i had a banana smoothie and scrambled eggs with salmon and avocado, both of which were scrummy yummy. paola's frozen yoghurt with blueberries, seeds and honey was pretty tasty too! and i must mention how much i love love love that you get a banana with your table number on it!

pimms love

i know i post a lot of pictures of pimms and lemonade. but this one (from the chelsea ram) was too pretty to leave out. especially seeing as it was a sunny day. and that doesn't happen very often at all!

the big roof top tea and golf party

i'm just gunna put it out there - i would have to be one of the least romantic people to ever hit the face of the planet. BUT the other week, somehow something in me had a moment and decided to plan a surprise date. mini golf. yes, hardly romantic. but we had been talking about doing it for aaaaagggeesss ... and this isn't just any old mini golf, it is THE big roof top tea and golf party at selfridges. and it was sooooo much fun. though my mini golfing skills were pretty, pretty rubbish. and the food! i'd heard lots of good things about the daylesford cafes so i was very much looking forward to trying for myself. and it did not disappoint. i cannot rave enough about the entire experience. it was fan-bloody-tastic!

exploring paris

with my family having left london, i'm trying to get back into some sort of routine. so here are some photos of my time in paris. paris is great, but i really do think it was being with my family that made it so special.

ps. i tried really hard to cut down my photos so as not to overload but it was very tricky. so i'll have some food photos up shortly!

family.

i'm back. back from six glorious days in paris with my boy and my family. i cannot even begin to explain the feeling of finally being with my family after more than seven months apart. i am so lucky to have been able to spend the week exploring paris with them. and now they are in london for a week! although i'll be working, i am planning on spending every spare minute possible with them. as you can see above, today we had lunch at my fave cafe. it made my heart sing. i don't ever want them to leave.


ps. loads of pics from paris coming soon!
