Dining with Kids in Tow

After children are thrown into the family mix, just finding the time to go out for a romantic meal (like the good old days) often feels like an impossible task. Even when you do find some time alone, niggling thoughts on whether the kids all right pervade into the forefront of your mind as you’re trying to enjoy your risotto.

One of the alternatives is dining with your children. It’s not quite as romantic, but it’s never a bad thing More

A different direction

There are so many vw camper vans for sale, why dont you just buy one and go there…
The mix of Serbian language and veiled my act a little scary! Where on earth had fallen?Sarajevo, Sarajevo - screaming all signs on the road.
Bosnia and Herzegovina for me is a country that is absolutely crazy, but existing successful. Can you imagine the combination of chevapchichi as a national dish and Islam as the official religion. If you can, flee More

Getting Away With It

Growing up, my room was a mess. I mean a RIGHT MESS. Looking back on photographs that my mother took – which she took as evidence just in case I lived to be old enough to look back upon my youth – I can see spores of what looks like mould on the carpet (could also be vomit) and all kinds of other things that shouldn’t be there. There are also black binliners in the photos, and these were full More

Futuristic Architecture - Is It happening?

Personally, I am a huge fan of architecture - it is a form of art that not only amazes you with shapes and forms, but also is the only form of art that can be directly applied in the everyday life with extreme usefulness. Architecture just embraces the ideas of both art and pure life necessities to form a distinguishable part of the modern day world - a unique mixture of innovative thinking, beauty and usefulness. This can be illustrated More

One of The Best Bars In Town

So I was taken out the other week by a friend who had been raving about this wine bar for about a year. We finally decided to go and I can not believe it has taken me a year to go to this bar.
Gordon’s Wine Bar in Embankment is the best wine bar I have ever been to. It is situated minutes from the station down a little street. The majestic feel to the place begins outside, the appearance More

West End on a Budget

I recently entertained a friend from out of town, who fancied a night of food and drink in the West End. At first, I recoiled at the thought of the high cost, low quality nightmares I’ve experienced in London’s tourist hot spot before. However, I bought a sexy outfit from tfnc clothing and found that amongst the tacky steak houses and packed pubs, a night up West is still affordable and relatively hassle-free.

We started at Bok Bar, More

Colour and Line - Turner exhibition at the Tate Modern

There is a very interesting interactive display currently on at the Tate Modern (UK). It is probably of special interest to any would be artists, both old and young alike as well as art history buffs.

The exhibition is on the the works of Joseph Turner who lived from 1775 -1851. An avid traveler Josephs works show how he experimented with light effects and printmaking as well as the relationship between light, prints and watercolour painting.

The exhibition covers two More

Stop and Smell the Earl Gray

Remarkably traditional, the Tea Box of Richmond’s Paradise Road is like taking a step back in time when the idea of what is important in life was much simpler. Afternoon tea is intended to be a time to take a breath and enjoy the simple pleasures like the company of a good friend. The owners of the antique feeling stop are Mike de Souza and Jemma Swallow. Their hope is to bring back afternoon tea to a fast past society More

Albertine has an amazing selection of wines to pair with their amazing food.

Albertine is one of my favorite places to visit whenever I visit London. It is an amazing wine bar that has been in business for over twenty years. When walking in you can instantly feel the warmth of the place. The dark wooden furniture gives you a deep since of warmth. There are candles burning about making the bar very peaceful. There is no loud sports enthusiast yelling at television screens or loud annoying music for you to talk over. More

Review: Jerusalem Bar

The Jerusalem Bar, located on Rathbone Street just off Oxford, offers a great starting point for your weekend partying. Great food at reasonable prices as well as a buzzing atmosphere makes Jerusalem a perfect place to kick start a night. However, even if you are not up for a heavy night of clubbing and partying, this bar gives you a great location for a low key evening with friends, and still supplies the goers with a dash of London class More
