US Expat living in London
With the impending birth of my first niece I realised I had better get working on her quilt! I found a cute quilt store I wanted to check out called 'The Quilt Room' out in Dorking. It was about an hour train ride and a bit of a hike from the train station to the... Continue Reading →
Back in 2009 I met my friend Colin working on Arthur Christmas at Sony. He's full of fun and adventure and was so glad to hear he'd be in town for a few days. I took him to alot of my favourite spots - many I have mentioned in previous posts. Our friend Carla came... Continue Reading →

Next time you're in London be sure to book a visit to London's Sky Garden. You can only book a week or two ahead but there are multiple times to visit. It's easiest to get tickets during the week rather than on a weekend. My mom and I went the day after we returned from... Continue Reading →
