QUAINT LONDON PUB

So many of the pubs in London seem to have been modernized and all look so similar so it is super lovely when you walk past a pub witch still has that old English charm.....

This is the Newman Arms on Rathbone Street, famous for their excellent beer and tasty pies. Click here to read about the Newman's very interesting history!!

THE TASTE OF AUSTRALIA IN LONDON

If I'm ever feeling home sick for a traditional Aussie style brunch, I head to Lantana cafe in Charlotte Place central London!

They have the best coffee (including flat whites), the friendliest happiest staff and fabulous understated open and light interior. When we went yesterday with our friend Stu, we even had the glorious sun.

The queues can be long but I promise you, it is worth the wait for the excellent brunch fare.

I was sooo happy to see they are now open on Sundays.!!.

FABULOUS FIGARO

FABULOUS FIGARO!

My sister and I just love these cars and we swap our Figaro spots with our i-phones!!!

I spotted this one yesterday evening on Sloane Street South Kensington.

HIPSTAMATIC I-PHONE APP

Hipstamatic is a I-Phone app recommended by a friend which I have been having soooooo much fun with.

It's like shooting film on a digital camera that you can change lenses on.

Here are some snaps I took on the way home from the tube station.

Amazing what you can see on your everyday walk home.....

SNOW DAY 2010

This is Britian shot today from a NASSA satelite!

This year I was fortunate enough to be able to experience snow day outside unlike last year when I was couped up in a plane on the tarmac at Heathrow after flying in from Canada.

Here are some shots from my walk in Kensington Gardens through the 'Blizzard'!

It was stunning!
