The Holiday Windows- Together We’re Merrier @ Fortnum & Mason
My absolute favourite holiday window has to be from Fortnum & Mason. No bells, no whistles but a simple and powerful message of togetherness, and a subtle reflection of our times and this time of year. Its a story about friendship and historical rivalries set aside to come together and be merry. Its about seeing…

Autumn- The Last Smile
I love Autumn, the one season of they year that God seemed to have put there just for the beauty of it- Lee Maynard When it comes to seasons, I am pretty much an in-between kinda gal; Spring and Autumn are my two favourites, Spring being my first, but Autumn coming a close second, only…

Brunch- Last Days of A Summer That Never Was
When I think of brunch, I think of friendships. Something about brunch says its a meal that is meant to be between friends, boozy, loud, chatty, happy, full of life and loving. Its familiar, a place you come to share the stories you know your mom should never hear, the escapades and shenanigans that make even…

London; Buenos Aires – Steak & The Best Dessert. EVER.
On my way into work, most every morning I walk past a cluster of restaurants in a commercial alleyway with unassuming facades, smack in-between coffee shops and a DIY store, opposite a white wall. Unappealing. That’s often the thing I find wrong about Richmond, it has slowly become a victim of its own independence, so…

Pancakes For Lunch- Bad Aunty
Baby sitting weekend is my favourite with my cheeky two year old nephew who talks back, claps back and asks why. A LOT. I love it. It is also my chance to be the cool fun aunt that flaunts the rules before giving him back to his parents. We keep it secret until of course…

September
Of all the months of the year, September is most fulfilling. Tired old August, for whom the sun never shone, fades away along with memories of the summer that never was. September is the promise of good things to come, endings and beginnings; school starts, holidays end, work resumes. New books, new toys, new tricks,…

Ferrero Rocher Brownies aka HEAVEN!
I never really liked brownies, have I told you that? Never liked them growing up, never liked them as a grown up. Until very recently when I started using alternatives to dark chocolate because I don’t much care for dark chocolate either. But since substituting milk chocolate for dark chocolate, and other times nutella, I…
