Let the half term begin!

We kicked off the half term in Selfridges yesterday evening with a visit to the braid bar, dinner at Yo Sushi and ice cream for dessert at Snow Flake. 

Carpet Diem

New and noteworthy carpet up in our sleeping loft

Despite me choosing a synthetic carpet (to avoid moths laying eggs in it as they are a huge problem in London and most people have 100% wool carpets pretty much everywhere!) - it’s still deep pile, high shine and super soft!  My feet just sinks in to it - It really adds a touch of luxury and I don’t know why I waited so many years to get it done!

Beautiful evening..

..in Marylebone tonight as we walked to Sean's school for pick up.

Mum's in town..

...for a sleep over 💞

Flower power

 My cheap and cheerful £3 Tesco roses simply looks transformed after I've peeled back petals. A tip I picked up from a famous florist. You can thank me later ;-)

The Autumn that keeps on giving

Sunny Sunday stroll in Regents Park 

Anniversary at Chiltern Firehouse and chef Ramsay's latest hotspot

A cocktail (at Lucky Cat) with catitude lol! The White Geisha was delish! 


Highlights from Monday night when we celebrated our wedding anniversary. Checked in at Chiltern Firehouse for the ultimate staycation, had dinner at Gordon Ramsays swanky new Mayfair restaurant, Lucky Cat, and hung out until the small hours back at the hotel's buzzing private bar before heading upstairs to our super cosy room.

Happy Anniversary darling Bear - 12 years together, 8 years married and still going strong- Here's to many more years of love and happiness together!

Compulsory Winter uniform

October means the Winter uniform comes on!

Lunch with mamma

Oh the opportunity for a lunch a vino opens up when my beautiful mamma is in town! 

Friday flowers

Gorgeous new long stem roses as I'm preparing for another viewing of our flat.
Happy Friday!

Last Summer rays?

Last Saturday they predicted 26 degrees so we all jumped on the train around midday to Mum's to make the most of her garden.
There we spent all day and evening outside eating, kids playing with the neighbour kid, chilling in the sun loungers and drinking several bottles of rosé before taking the last train back. 

That Friday feeling

 And so the air has changed quite rapidly with a distinct Autumnal nip in the air  -  This morning's school run in the sun and lil man felt hot in his compulsory woollen blazer

Pretty in pink!
Little Madam insisted on a change of clothing after the school pick up today.  Note the open toe sandals - Weather in the capital is beyond amazing right now! 

Al fresco local dinner in Portman Village tonight. Gratitude to say the least when at the end of Sept you can dine outside! Wedding anniversary coming up next - watch this space..

Sweden - One helluva holiday!

Highlights from our annual trip to Sweden when we're staying with my brother Henrik and his partner Anna. A glorious 6 days of Nordic Summer rays, barbecues, cousins bonding and laughters that had our ribs hurt! Family is everything right?
