Had a mystery dress up party where we had to have a ‘theme’ for our room. Cam found some ‘where’s wally’ wrapping paper at a toy store, which served as a great feature wall – and then to find that there were two where’s wally costumes in the dress up box – brilliant! Dan and […]

Continued weekend pursuits on Sunday, with Sarah and I heading to a Vintage Wedding Fair in the lovely Chiswick town hall to get some great ideas for whenever wedding time happens. Huge turnout with lot’s of people well on the preparation trail and trying on dresses and whatnot. Checked out a sweet car boot sale at Battersea […]

The benefit of having such extreme amounts of rain meant that, once the sun came out, the parks were a very lush place to be. Emma had her first ciders in Regent’s Park for a going away party, excellent to see so many familiar faces and feel some warmth on the face! Also enjoyed the […]

Rain mania was a strong theme this weekend, just like the energizer batteries it just kept going and going and going.

I baked a Barbara’s chocolate cake for dessert with chocolate ganache to top it all off. […]

Cam whipped up some delicious vegie burrito treats for our first dinner with our flatmates – Morri, Cam, Wakefield and Millie. Was a bit awkward busting out the camera here but the Willie Couper in me just bursts on out on such occasions.

From this photo it looks like it’s all blossoms and cupcakes, but really this is a but a brief reprieve from the rain onslaught that has been April. Drought declaration was followed by seemingly unending amounts of rain.

Not working for the first few weeks in London provided good opportunity for strolling, although admittedly this is the 10 min walk to the big supermarkt view from ‘Lavender Hill’. There used to be fields of lavender here back in the day, now it’s a decadent haven of brick houses and tenaments.

Sunday was action stations after a relaxing at home Saturday. Above is Sarah and Alice at the Columbia Road flower markets. Beautiful aromas and full bloom colours swept through the cobbled bustling streets, with small second hand stalls in side alleys and gorgeous vintage and design shops lining the streets – it was all so […]
