Apologies for the radio silence but its been a bit of a crazy month. I went home to see my folks (and dog), then jumped on a plane to Riga, where Hamilton and I started a road trip around Estonia, before returning to Latvia. Following on from that, I flew back to London and within … Continue reading RIGA | DAY 1 | BALTIC ROAD TRIP

MODERN ART IN MUSEUM SQUARE | AMSTERDAM DAY 2 | WEEKEND WANDERING
And on the second day, the clocks changed. Thus, we did not rise until late morning. Yet, it was still Sunday so we weren't in a rush, so we awoke slowly and meandered to Amersfoort train station, where we caught a train in to Amsterdam central to see some of the best modern art The … Continue reading MODERN ART IN MUSEUM SQUARE | AMSTERDAM DAY 2 | WEEKEND WANDERING
FREE FERRIES AND SECRET CAFES | AMSTERDAM DAY 1 | WEEKEND WANDERING
Considering its only a 45 minute plane ride away and a good friend of mine lives there its pretty much a travesty that I hadn't visited Amsterdam since 2015. Though judging by the title of this post, you've probably figured out that I finally managed to return to the land of cheese and beer... Last … Continue reading FREE FERRIES AND SECRET CAFES | AMSTERDAM DAY 1 | WEEKEND WANDERING
LONDON’S MOST INSTAGRAMMABLE CAFE | WEEKEND WANDERING
Over the past few months, my friends and I have seen one cafe - Elan Cafe, all over Instagram; with its milennial pink decor, floral wall and gorgeous looking cakes, we put it on our must visit list. Also on our list, was the Winnie the Pooh exhibition at the Victoria and Albert museum, and … Continue reading LONDON’S MOST INSTAGRAMMABLE CAFE | WEEKEND WANDERING
MY TOP 5 LONDON EATS (AT THE MOMENT)
London has an amazingly varied selection of cafes and restaurants - you could eat at a different place every day and not have to repeat yourself. Amazingly though, this is something that I often find myself doing. Apparently its not only old habits that die hard. These are a few places I really like: Dishoom … Continue reading MY TOP 5 LONDON EATS (AT THE MOMENT)
CHIHUAHUA CAFE | EDINBURGH | WEEKEND WANDERING
Usually I love the train journey up to Edinburgh - its about 5.5 hours long but it gives me time to write, read and watch tv in comfortable, warm seats. Usually moments when I get to do these things are slotted in in between stressful ones and are therefore very rarely dedicated just to this; … Continue reading CHIHUAHUA CAFE | EDINBURGH | WEEKEND WANDERING
BEER AND BEACHES | DEVON | WEEKEND WANDERING
A few weeks back (when it was still pretty damn chilly), I went with my boyfriend, Fred to visit his parents down in Devon. He grew up there and absolutely loves it, so I'd heard a lot about it. I'd been down to that area of the country before (to Cornwall) but never to his … Continue reading BEER AND BEACHES | DEVON | WEEKEND WANDERING
(AIN’T SEEN NOTHIN YET UNTIL YOU’RE) DOWNTOWN | DAY 5 | NEW YORK
Most of our time in New York was spent in mid/uptown but this was our final day so we went AWOL (to other nice places). First stop, Brooklyn Bridge. This day (funnily enough the one we were spending the majority of outside) was absolutely FREEZING but it didn't put us off - we wrapped up … Continue reading (AIN’T SEEN NOTHIN YET UNTIL YOU’RE) DOWNTOWN | DAY 5 | NEW YORK
COMEDY AND CHEESECAKE | DAY 4 | NEW YORK
This may be a slightly shorter blog than normal seeing as day 4 was a bit of a shopping day and I don't have the time to list all of the things that I purchased. What I will say is that I love Free People with all my heart. Sephora, you guys are pretty damn … Continue reading COMEDY AND CHEESECAKE | DAY 4 | NEW YORK
ALL THE MUSEUMS | DAY 3 | NEW YORK
And suddenly, the third day was upon us. It came round very quickly and proved a point about making the most of your time. I think we had done pretty well so far but this day really showed you can always do more. It wasn't the best weather so it worked out quite well for … Continue reading ALL THE MUSEUMS | DAY 3 | NEW YORK
