Brussels

Icy

Originally uploaded by littlestar19.

Before xmas we went to Brussels for three days, catching the Eurostar there and back. The Eurostar is a million times better than flying so we’ll be trying to use it more often.

Fifteen; we ate Jamie for dinner!

Well the three of us we went to Fifteen last night for dinner and I will preface this by saying it was the stuff of cullinary dreams and a singular food-religious glimpse. It was not so much dinner as a complete experience from start to finish. Additionally being in London for almost a year now […]

A sunday ramble

Today was an absolutely beautiful day. All blue skies and actually warm! So we got ready and decided to go for a walk. Our ultimate destination was Finsbury Park, but we went there via Clissold Park and a scenic walk along a canal.
I took a multitude of photos, inlcuding ones of bunnies and deer that […]
