Happy Halloween Weekend!

I love Halloween in London, there is always so much to do. A couple of years ago I went along to one of the many ghost walks around town, which scared me poo-less! Now, I scare easily... but when masked ghouls started jumping out of trees in St.James Park, even the man freaked out! Great fun! 
Think I am going to stick to the traditional party this year. I'm planning on buying one of the fab cakes from the worlds first over 18's cake shop, 'Eat your heart out & the Pretex potion' in Shoreditch. This is a pop up shop from the brains behind The Mad Artists Tea Party (remember their pop up in Covent Garden two months ago?). The cakes look awesome fun and after tasting their goodies before, I know they will be very yummy! Click here for even more scary goings on in London this weekend....


Thought this would be a good opportunity to post these pumpkin pictures!

Happy Weekend!

I have to say I am looking forward to a quiet one this weekend after the adventures of the last one...maybe just a quick drink in the local tonight! Looking ahead to next weekend though, check out the mayor's Thames Festival. A weekend of festivities along the river sounds like a great way to round off the summer to me...

Happy Weekend!

So, bank holiday weekend, what do you have planned?? If you are yet to make any, then why not pop along to the Notting Hill Carnival? If that's not your cup of tea then how about some edible art for all you cake lovers out there with this Mad Artists Tea Party??


The man and me have a bit of a crazy one planned, with a late night at the V&A tonight and then a day trip to my second favourite city tomorrow...yep, you guessed it... Paree! There are a couple of great exhibitions on at the moment (a YSL retrospective and one looking at contemporary fashion) and I am craving a big bowl of boeuf bourguignon. But hey, who needs a reason when it is only 2hrs a way!

Happy Weekend!

Well, I have put on my shoes and I am definitely ready for the weekend (I love that Calvin Harris song)!! I am hoping for a relaxing weekend with a trip to Columbia Road flower market planned for Sunday, which I will tell you all about next week. In the meantime, check out this great photo of a wannabe bearskin guard I saw walking across Westminster Bridge last week. The tourists thought he was for real and he was lapping up all the attention. You can't see on this photo but that bag he is holding is actually an Iceland carrier bag...classic!
