It's the most wonderful time of the year!! Christmas is nearly here, which means of course visiting Winter Wonderland, Hyde Park, London.
Australia – 1 year ago today
Turning back time to this time last year.... Have to say that sitting in an office in the middle of London doesn't quite compare to driving on a boat in Noosa Heads, Queensland. I will let you guys decide which you think is better. 🙂 Have a good weekend!!
North England – The Lake District (The Queenstown of England)
London – Toast Rack, Wandsworth
Toast Rack is one of my favourite breakfast place in London, it is an artisan bakery, coffee shop and café right next to Wandsworth Common. It is slightly off the main strip of coffee shops and retailers, which makes it an even better find. They sell naturally leavened sourdough and speciality breads that are baked on site, which you also …
London – Fu Manchu (Clapham North)
A dim sum, cocktail bar which becomes a night club in the evening. I came across this great little restaurant called Fu Manchu, Clapham North, on the internet one day.

Amsterdam – Best Tapas Restaurant (Pata Negra)
I made a very quick, two day, trip to Amsterdam over the weekend. I have previously been to Amsterdam a few times and it definitely has to be one of the most charming cities that I have been to. I love its thin brick buildings, surrounded by often rainy skyline, an interesting history, and the people seem to have a very easy going …

London – The Botanist, Broadgate (Liverpool Street)
I am not really one to go to super fancy bars in the City, however, The Botanists near Liverpool Street Station is a great little bar to have a little bit of dinner and a couple of drinks with colleagues after work. The Botanist Bars & Restaurants are part of The ETM group -and are …
