August Favourites

It’s that time of the month again already: where has the Summer – and the sunshine –  gone?!  Before I become reacquainted with my trusty light knit layers and seasonal pumpkin spices lattes let’s take a look back at the best bits from August:

August felt like a very ‘work’ heavy month with production ramping up on our final few episodes and lots of shoots to plan and attend.  Luckily there was a little time spare for play and, at the beginning of the month,  I got to embrace my inner Bond girl and take to the Thames with my friend Sophie for a rib boat experience.

Day Tripper: Notting Hill Carnival

2 Comments

I’ve long heard tales of Notting Hill Carnival and when this year’s event coincided with my friend Jenny’s visit to the city we decided to head down and see what all the fuss was about.  We went to Children’s Day arriving nice and early at around 10.30am.  Having taken a few wrong turns navigating the walk from the station we were surprised to see only a few stands set up.  It turns out that the 10am starting time slot is merely a guide and, as one policeman told us, we needed to embrace the Caribbean carnival spirit and take the day in our stride.  Sadly we couldn’t stay for the main parade – I think it kicked off around 3 or 4pm – but we had a great time nonetheless.  We even got to visit the famous Notting Hill bookshop from the film!  We just missed Hugh Grant and Julia Roberts but maybe we’ll see them next time round, eh?

H A P P Y  M O N D A Y!

Sorry I’ve been a wee bit quiet these past couple of weeks.  Work has reached another busy phase and a lot of other things seem to have faded into the background…except they haven’t really!  I’ve been a busy bee filming videos and taking pictures although I’m chasing my tail a bit now trying to edit them all!

I’ve been toying with the idea of bringing something different to my videos here on the blog and on my YouTube channel and I realised I really love to watch videos where someone is having a bit of a chat with their audience so I thought I’d give it a go myself.  Maybe you’ll enjoy watching these like I do?

July Favourites

It’s that time again folks!  July was a whistle-stop tour of all things food and friendship as I flew home not once but twice to see my loved ones.

I also had visitors and really enjoyed playing tour guide to my mum and my pal Jenny who popped down for the amazing Bette Midler concert.  So without further ado here were my best bits from July:

Happy Birthday Mama T!
