Yesterday, I walked through a pile of leaves. Brown ones. You know – like the ones you see in autumn, not summer. Except, of course, if you’re in London in August. Thankfully, there’s going to be a couple of sunshiney scorchers this week. So, if you need me, I’ll be in the park with a picnic rug and a bottle of Prosecco lapping it up. But I digress. Here’s what I’ve been up to this past week: Eating. Drinking. Socialising. That’s London summer for you….

Another London Sunday is upon us – but with the sun shining, it’s really a bit tricky to feel too melancholy. Pass the Pimms please. The past week been one of exercise, good times, sunshine and books: what more can a girl want really? Here’s a snapshot: Harry Potter is back! And with him, the enthusiasm and anticipation that I remember so fondly from all those teenage years I spent awaiting J.K Rowling’s next instalment. I’ve just finished reading the script for Cursed Child and am super excited…

More to come on this incredible place over the next couple of weeks so stay tuned. In the meantime… I’ve now well and truly learned the…

It’s officially July – how did that happen!? It feels like just yesterday it was Christmas and now we’re less than 6 months away from the next one (terrifying, I know). Good news is that the sun is shining and it’s getting warmer! Bring on summer holidays! Here’s what’s been going on in my world: It’s been all about fitness this past week. Firstly, it’s absolutely delightful to have longer days which, though messing with my sleep patterns, are naturally much more conducive to early morning/post-work…

There’s nothing like the feeling of a Sunday afternoon, is there? I hope the weekend has been a fun and relaxing one for you as it has been for me. Despite London’s schizophrenic weather suggesting otherwise, summer festivities and fun times are in full swing. And trust me when I say this, when the sun is shining, there’s few placers nicer to be than London. Here’s what’s going on: Yesterday I uttered the phrase “Oh it’s going to be quite warm – 22 degrees!” to which…

For anyone who has been keeping up to date with my London adventures over the past year, you’ll know that I think London life is pretty special. That said, there’s a few truths about London life that often go unspoken about. I’m talking about the first world problems and the unspoken social norms – you know, those simple things that long-time Londoners would simply assume are public knowledge. So in the interest of sharing the love, here are five unexpected truths I discovered about London life since moving…

Happy Sunday everyone! Another weekend in London has flown by. I unfortunately spent most of mine curled up in bed with sinus infection (I really should have been taking more of my own advice) following a rather busy week! Here’s what I’ve been up to: Attempted my best movie-star-on-press tour impression filming a case study for work. Note to self: have not missed calling as an actress and should most definitely stick to day job. Went to The Graham Norton Show where I not only saw…

I have to confess, as much as I wish my lack of updates here was due to me being so impossibly busy that I just haven’t had time for blogging, alas it’s quite the opposite. The past two weeks have flown by in a blur of work, running, mild homesickness and generally mundane life happenings. So here’s an absolutely thrilling overview: The spring sunshine has turned me into an uncharacteristically motivated spring cleaner. Wardrobes, windows, kitchen, bathroom, cupboards – nothing is safe and you have…

Happy May Day everyone! As I write this, the sun is shining, the flowers are blooming and it’s a pretty beautiful day outside. Not to go on and on about the weather when there’s infinitely more exciting things to talk about it, but it’s been a bit tumultuous this week to say the least. Rain, snow, sun, lightning, hail, etc. etc. So, some sunshine is most welcome if you ask me. Outside of meteorological matters, it’s been a fairly quiet week post-holidays: Last Sunday, I…

After two entirely blissful weeks in Italy with my lovely little sister, I’m now back in London with a terrible case of the post-holiday blues. Hmph. But really, can you blame me? With Italy’s sun, utterly indescribable beauty and depth of culture (not to mention the endless supply of gelato…), how can I not have returned just a little bit heartbroken? Stay tuned in coming weeks for much more to come on what I can only hope will be the first of many Italian adventures….
