Design Hotel August: a Luxurious Stay in a Former Convent
I don't particularly like celebrating my own birthday. But I do love celebrating other people's birthdays! Unfortunately, many of my friends go through the same phase of not wanting to be reminded that they're getting older and prefer not to make a big deal out of it....
Design Hotel August: a Luxurious Stay in a Former Convent
I don't particularly like celebrating my own birthday. But I do love celebrating other people's birthdays! Unfortunately, many of my friends go through the same phase of not wanting to be reminded that they're getting older and prefer not to make a big deal out of it. Yeah.... That's all very nice, but when it comes to my oldest and closest friends, I don't accept no for an answer. And that's why we're in the car driving to Antwerp.

Breakfast at Brockley Market

Boutique Bakery Cocomaya
With so many hotspots in the city, my computer is filling up quickly with all the pictures I want to share with you. But then it would be nice if I would also actually publish them, which I totally forgot to do with this post (it was the end of the year, don't judge)....
Traveling back to Roman times at Hadrian’s Wall
I'm a bit ashamed to admit that every time I left the city last year, it was to fly to another country, not to explore the rest of the UK. This weekend I headed up north to attend Traverse 2014, a travel bloggers event in Newcastle. After the inspiring...
#LDNbloggersTea at the Royal Horseguards
When I walk into the elegant lobby of The Royal Horseguards Hotel, I'm being welcomed by chef Ben Purton himself. 'I already thought you were a blogger.' Really? What gave it away? The handbag big enough to fit a DSLR camera? The slightly hungry look, scanning the...
