this place is an absolute gem. from the adorable decor and shelves full of pretty tea cups down to the little jam pots on each table, it is a gloriously cozy and cute place to be. and the food ain't too bad either! but seriously, those cakes are to die for.
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.
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!
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!
this is just a random post to express my appreciation for strawberries. man, am i loving strawberry season!
a couple of weeks ago rudi and i went to brixton to check out the market and search for somewhere cool to get some food ... just for something different! we stumbled across hive bar and restaurant, which i personally thought was more like a cafe. regardless of what it was called, it was the perfect place to just chill and have a lazy breaky/lunch/drink/whatever! although the service was pretty average, the food was great. their burgers were amazing - especially the one with blue cheese!
last friday night we went out for dinner. it had been ages since we'd eaten out together so it was really lovely. we had planned on going to the pub but spotted some delicious-looking noodles through the window of this place and couldn't resist! the service was pretty rubbish and the food was average but we had such a nice time. just goes to show all you really need is good company!
we just had two whole days off together. it was almost like a normal person's weekend! and this is how we wrapped it up. it might not be fancy. but it's good enough for us!
yesterday both rudi and i had the day off. yep, that's right. the WHOLE day. together. very exciting indeed. the sun was shining so we headed to kensington gardens and hyde park for a picnic. it was just beautiful. we wandered. we treated ourselves to afternoon tea (or beer!) at the orangery. the tea was divine. the service was rubbish. we hired barclays boris bikes. they were a nightmare. but awesome fun once we finally got on them! we saw marble arch. we went home. it may not have been the most perfectly smooth sailing day. but it was fun ... and nice to just be together.
