Visiting Dordrecht, a Perfect Day Trip from Amsterdam
Travel plans may have turned into vouchers for (hopefully) next year, but that doesn't mean that we won't be traveling at all. It will just be a bit closer to home. Starting with: Dordrecht, a perfect day trip from Amsterdam or Rotterdam. If I'm being honest, there...
Visiting Dordrecht, a Perfect Day Trip from Amsterdam
Travel plans may have turned into vouchers for (hopefully) next year, but that doesn't mean that we won't be traveling at all. It will just be a bit closer to home.

Ozone Coffee Roasters in Shoreditch

Sweet Temptations at Nordic Bakery
More food? Yes, yet another Scandinavian bakery in London that I have to share with you. They're just too pretty, charming and delicious! After I blogged about Fabrique and their cinnamon rolls, people told me I really needed to try Nordic Bakery too. So when I was in...
Breakfast at Brockley Market
I skipped breakfast on purpose. 'Cause let's face it... I'm me. If I'm gonna visit a food market there will be too many yummy things I won't be able to resist. What I hadn't anticipated was that the bike ride to Brockley Market would take me a bit longer than Mr...
Science Afternoon Tea at The Ampersand
Anyone up for a little science experiment? Oh, and did I mention it's with food? With the Science Museum and Museum of Natural History just around the corner, you can see where The Ampersand Hotel got the idea for this month's afternoon tea theme. I may not have been...
