2020. What a time. Of all the things I didn’t expect to be doing, living through a global pandemic was one of them. Renovating our flat during said time was another. Our London loft conversion had been a three-year work in progress. Initial architect drawings. Many, many hours spent researching design. Tedious planning denials, tedious …
A Mega Mystery Bus Tour
Mega Bus. The coach service that has been there for all of us when ever-increasing train fares were not. From my first ever audition (for Luna Lovegood in Harry Potter at the tender age of 16, fact fans), to endless trips to and from the capital to satisfy my teenage desire of being as much …

Afternoon Tea at sketch provides the best of locations with an experience …
London Coffee Festival
I’d be lying if I said I was a coffee aficionado. While I’m not going to confuse the word aficionado for a type of coffee (totally plausible) I will say my knowledge is more that of an enthusiastic amateur than expert. However, always one for attempting to keep up with the cool people of London, …
