A Notting Hill Sunday

Our Sunday strolling along the streets of Portobello Road and Nothing Hill. There is just so much to be grateful for right now! 

Unbeliefably beautiful 🍁

London during Autumn *sigh*

Grandad Laurie in town

Last week my fab father in law, the Scottish gentle giant (6 foot 6!) named Laurence came to visit.  Bear took his Dad's to see his favourite West End musical, Fiddler On The Roof, they watched the rugby World Cup final in a pub, picked up the kids from school together and wrapped up his stay at our local Turkish restaurant. Hope to see you soon again Laurie! 

Monday with Mum

Every Monday, almost without failure, I jump on the train to Amersham to visit mum. And almost every time we go to her local pub Metro Lounge and eat their chicken, bacon avocado salad. And this Monday was no different. Love my Mondays with mum, so precious! x

Halloween 2019

After dropping Lil Man in Notting Hill for trick or treat, Munchkin and I met up with Daniel from her school, his sister, Mum Ena and ventured up to St Johns Wood to join in the fun. It was soo busy with queues leading up to the big pimped up houses but the kids had a blast. Mummy however needed a drink once back home lol! 

Roka Mayfair with Gerry

Friday grubbing

Unconditional love

When you find this written by your 5 yr old in Notes on your phone - guess if I was welling up?!

Isle Of Wight

Last week we checked in to this so called

waterside restaurant-with-rooms, The Little Gloster

Once on the island we relaxed immediately and boy I can tell you it's been so lovely to sleep with the doors wide open all night, and the sound of the sea gently lapping on the shore below.

An hour and a half with the train to Southampton then we took the ferry over to Isle Of Wight

An escape from the city, the perfect spot for us Londoners during the half term break

The Little Gloster is an award winning family run restaurant and look who was invited in to the kitchen to help out! 

We first saw this place as it was featured on TV, and then we've read numerous excellent reviews in travel magazines and online, and lets say we have not been disappointed!

Only 25 mins on the Red Funnel passenger ferry and we arrived in paradise 

Literally jumping for joy

Difficult to fault this place with scenic location, attentive staff and superb menu.

We lucked out with the weather too

A few min taxi and you're in the town of Cowes 

Breakfast with panoramic sea views 

A fresh locally caught crab salad with this sunset - pure bliss! 

Island life 

Ben's (the owner and head chef) grandmother who is his inspiration for this place, happens to be Danish and sometimes pitch in 

Mingling with other guests in the non stuffy relaxed bar 

We managed to secure the best room - there are only three so we had to book way in advance. High-quality furniture, Nespresso machine, sheepskins and a super comfy bed

Our garden suite bang on the beach was simply unbeatable. Until next time, Little Gloster!
