After a hell of a crazy couple of COVID-focused years, I am so pleased to report that 2022 was finally the year where we got back to some semblance of normality. That’s not to say that there wasn’t stress to deal with. The year began with a health scare and continued to rocket from there. […]
It is our tradition to do a festive afternoon tea at a Central London hotel just before Christmas. Last year, it was Fortnums, and in previous years we have also done The Savoy and The Sanderson. But, I have never ever ever been to The Ritz for an afternoon tea so this year, this was […]
I’ve talked already in my previous post about our decision to have a whirlwind 24 hour trip to Iceland! But while the previous post was centred around the incredible experience of seeing the Northern Lights, this post is about ticking off an entirely separate life list item: swimming in the Blue Lagoon! The Blue Lagoon […]
This weekend, Lu and I travelled down to Victoria station to take a very special train – the British Belmond Pullman train – for a round trip around the Kent countryside whilst enjoying a luxurious afternoon tea! Belmond are known for their hyper luxurious experiences so I was very much looking forward to what promised […]
I was super excited to go to an afternoon tea at the luxurious Berkeley Hotel in Knightsbridge, not least because the hotel is lovely, but because the afternoon tea there is excitingly fashion themed called Pret-a-Portea!

We just got back from the most incredible long weekend trip to Oslo, to visit some friends who live there with their two children. We spent 3 days doing our own non-child friendly agenda, gallivanting around Oslo and 2 days with our friends. It was the best long weekend and we’ve come back from the […]
My little brother got married this year, and it was SO surreal. My little brother! I will always and forever think of my brother as a cheeky, mischevious 5 year old running around being a little troublemaker, so the idea that he is now a grown man with responsibilities is CRAZY. We had a great […]
For Lu’s birthday, I whisked her away into Central London for a weekend of pampering, good food, shopping and cocktails! We stayed at The Beaumont primarily because of its fantastic proximity to the shops but with still feeling like its tucked away in a private corner of London. A cool thing about The Beaumont is […]
We visited Hakkasan in Hanway Place, just off the bustling Tottenham Court Road as part of Lu’s birthday weekend celebrations this year, and this entire mini review is going to be simply talking about how every single aspect of it was exceptional. Hakkasan is a Cantonese restaurant famed for its dim sum, beautiful cocktails and […]
