It’s Friday and the thought of cooking and eating in our cramped apartment was not enticing. So A and I decided to meet up at Angel. One of the annoying things about London is that everytime you walk into a restaurant, you’re effectively gambling away roughly £25. You really just never know if your coke [...]

It is a Wednesday morning, and as everyone swims through the sludge that is ‘hump day’, I am propelled through it by the tidlewave of drama that ensued last night. Let me rewind and hit play. In the realm between dream and wakefulness I hear the sound of a phone ringing. But of course there [...]

Did you know that Oxford University’s brand colour has it’s own Pantone code? Neither did I, until today, because I bought a blue Oxford t-shirt for my da and was wondering if maybe I should have got grey. Turns out I got lucky. So a few new things have changed since my last post. Most [...]

As I’ve kept saying, eating out in London isn’t exactly easy on the pocket – or the mouth. So me and A have resorted to cooking at home a lot. Kitchen experiments range from a normal stir fry to mushroom meatballs. Here are a few that we remembered to photograph!

It is quite possible, that we’ve found heaven…as we know it. A random suggestion to visit London Bridge has lead us to the goldmine that is Borough Market. We had no idea what would be at London Bridge, well, besides a bridge. So when we stepped off the bus and saw a sign saying “Borough [...]

One of the major reasons I wanted to move to move to a new city/travel is to experience living out of familiarity; obvious things like new friends, new work, new environment. Then there are the little things that you never think about. From the water pressure when you shower to having space to dry your [...]

Hey guys! Photos by popular demand! Would love to have given you more, but house hunting has temporarily taken over our lives. Actually some photos of the ridiculous places we’ve seem would’ve made a good post, we’ve seen one with a brick wall outside the window, one with NO window, one with NINE bedrooms, one [...]

It’s been 1 week since me and A arrived in ye’ old London, so I do apologise that I haven’t updated everyone earlier! I promise that we are both well!
