I don't know how I ended up wanting to go to Krakow but I got it in my head I needed to go and let me tell you - I was not disappointed. Quite the opposite- It's one of my favourite places. I did a bit of research before I went but to be honest,... Continue Reading →
Autumn 2018
Autumn is my favourite time of year here in London (followed closely by Spring!). The weather is great, and the leaves are changing colours. I can get out my scarves and hats again and it begins to feel like Christmas. This Autumn provided a lot of really lovely things: I had a friend visit, we... Continue Reading →
East London with Erica
Autumn 2018 brought four lovely people to visit: Colin, Erica, Danielle and Caitlin. I've known Erica for almost my whole life. Her cousin is my childhood best friend Kristin and we've all been pal-ing around for quite awhile! Erica and I have a lot of the same interests; true crime, beer, cheese.. ha! So I...

Colin Comes to Visit!
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 →
1 Year in London!
September 2018 brought my 1 year anniversary living and working in London. It's been amazing, challenging, exhausting but mostly it's been rewarding. I love my job and the people I work with. Living here has afforded me the opportunity to travel to places I never would have considered otherwise (eg Estonia, Poland). I spent much... Continue Reading →
Summer in London – 2018

On top of all of that my flatmate bought a place in King's Cross so we moved over there.... Continue Reading →
Kew Gardens
James and I headed to Kew Gardens in some absolutely perfect summer weather. I mean it was perfect for everyone but me, I am not a fan of the heat, I get a bit grumpy! Kew Gardens is an EXCELLENT out of town trip. It's about 45 minutes by tube from Central London and if... Continue Reading →
London – Sky Garden and Brick Lane
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 →
Mum in London
I was so blessed that my lovely Mom came to visit me! She arrived on American Mother's Day (different date than in England), and was here for her 65th Birthday! What a lucky girl I am to spend such days with her. I traveled to Heathrow to 'pick her up' by which I mean I... Continue Reading →
