Bloomin' lovely
Like most, I was heading out of London for the long weekend, but plans changed and here I am, following another new discovery in this incredible city I love so much - Columbia Road.




Mooch the 60 (ish) shops, all independent and promising something different, soak up the sights and scents of the flower market (hold on 'til near closing time for the most gorgeous mass of blooms for a fiver) and finish in 'Campania' for a delicious taste of southern Italy, a super friendly welcome and an atmos that will make you want to plea for longer opening and stay for hours!
A perfect Sunday - this is laidback London. Enjoy x

Qué vida!
One of my favourite things - to start a new year with a weekend away. For 2010, a chance to practice my near-forgotten Spanish, soak up the urban loveliness that is Madrid, try out some fine Spanish wines and absolutely over-indulge in the mouth-watering food!



The café, lounge and bar scene in this city is amazing and for 3 fab finds in a day, try this:
Start the day late with churros con chocolate at 'Chocolateria san Ginés'.
Mooch a while, soak up the elegance of this beautiful city and enjoy some tasty tapas - you'll be spoilt for choice!
Wander through the gritty, hip and happening 'Chueca', maybe shop a while, then step out of the cold and warm up with a Tia Maria coffee (pictured) at the gorgeously intimate 'cafe Aquarela'.
Take a short siesta (if only for a break from eating!) - and start again with a late dinner under the opulence of 'La Capilla de la Bolsa'. Beautiful!
The rest is up to you. Enjoy the Madrileño way....but don't plan to be home before dawn!
I left with a promise to return in summer - I can't wait!
Enjoy!

La dolce vita 2
Beautiful, beautiful Florence!
Add 3 friends, perfect weather, a gorgeous place to stay and fine food/wine to this, the beating heart of Tuscany....and you have a little bit more of 'la dolce vita'. The perfect way to spend a birthday!








I adored this city, where you can go from relaxed rustic dining - to opera - to laid back lounge bar in an evening, and mooch to your heart's content with something amazing at every turn.
Left with a longing to rent a vintage convertible and head off on a Tuscan adventure!

La dolce vita
4 blissful days on the Amalfi coast...simply stunning! So many things I loved here - the list is huge! From the faded grandeur of Napoli to the seduction of Capri. The elegance of Sorrento and dramatic beauty of Positano - all seemingly tumbling into the gorgeous turquoise sea.







Loved the place, the beauty, the pace, the local wine, the food...every minute! Definitely one for the 'must go back to' list!
