I’ve had a genuinely lovely week, lots of family time, time with friends and a bit of shopping too – which always helps! Last Saturday we had Athenas best friends birthday party at soft play, so the kids pretty much entertained themselves whilst we chatted! After that I headed into Brighton for the evening with a group of friends who I’ve not seen in years, literally years! We spent the evening and night catching up,…
There are countless things to see and do in London, with new events and activities popping up all the time, but if you’re a seasoned Londoner or frequent visitor, you might still be on the lookout for fresh experiences. In this guide, we’ve detailed four of London’s best kept secrets. Each one is an intriguing oddity and worth seeing for yourself.

It’s no secret that I love London. It’s my favourite city to visit though I don’t think I’d want to live there, especially not with two young kids! I was born there though, and I think that helps me feel tied to it in some way. I love reading history books about London, or historic novels set there and one day I’d love spend a weekend exploring my favourite parts of London from the books…
On Monday last week, I bundled the kids in the car and drove up to the outskirts of London to find Mayfield Lavender Fields. Now I may be succumbing to a cliched ‘instamum’ fad but who cares!

Little did I know the little blighters would do as much as they could to foil my attempts at getting a picture perfect shot; refusing to…
I adore London, always have and probably always will do and have written a few posts about visiting London in the past (here on the London Eye, and here on a river cruise most recently) though I don’t think I’d ever want to live there if I’m honest! The hustle and bustle is great for a few days but then I get long to be back bedside the seaside at home! Last weekend I took the little people up…
We threw ourselves at the mercy of Southern Fail at the weekend and headed up to London for the day as a family. I adore London, though would never want to live there unless I could afford a very expensive riverside penthouse and a chauffeur. A day or two spent in our capital is perfect, and at the weekend the sun shone and we had a great time on the river and at the National…
Last Sunday I spent the day in London with a handful of bloggers, is there a proper word for a gathering of bloggers? Anyway, I met Katie (hook,line and sink her) at Victoria and we then met Ria (wishing-for-chanel) Erin (e-elise etc & Michelle (daisybutter) at Hyde park and strolled on into Winter Wonderland. Now maybe the fact that each year WW gets hyped up had prepared me for a magical experience of wonderment.…
