One of the best things I love about London is the likelihood of bumping into events that would never venture out into Australia. A good example is Bust’s Craftacular, a DIY craft market sponsored by my favourite magazine that finally expanded across the Atlantic and held its first London Craftacular this year. Held in a… Continue reading Bust Craftacular and the week that was

Autumn postcard
Some photos taken during the weekend when I wandered into Epping Forrest with some Flickr peeps. It was a gorgeous day and I didn’t take as many photos as I should being happy to soak in the atmosphere. My grandmother used to have a gigantic print of a European forrest in autumn and when I… Continue reading Autumn postcard
Westfield London
Visited the new and very shiny Westfield at Shepherd’s Bush during the weekend with one of my housemates for a dose of retail theraphy and general nosying around. Considering the number of High streets London has, it’s a little nuts to see an entire city going crazy at the idea of an indoor mall. On… Continue reading Westfield London
aMaze-ing – dinner at maze
It’s official, I have November-itis. Sympthoms include feeling sorry myself, not liking the cold and dreading being outside. Expert sources have identified it as a close relative of the Man Flu, but blogging about food is taking the edge of it somewhat. On top of my list of things to do while living in London is… Continue reading aMaze-ing – dinner at maze
Halloween and November
Happy Halloween to those who celebrated. This is probably the first year that I actively participated thanks to a Halloween loving house mate. In any case, the pumpkins were carved, guests were invited and it was a whole lot of fun eventhough we didn’t get any kiddies trick or treating in our direction. November is… Continue reading Halloween and November
World Zombie (sun)Day
The one extra hour is making me feel less like the undead in the past few days; funnily enough that’s exactly the crowd I bumped into on Sunday. Sunday 26th of October was International Zombie Day with walks made in most of the major cities around the world. The weather was miserably wet and… Continue reading World Zombie (sun)Day
Last few days of sun
I’m so sick of waking up too early all the time, regardless what time I fell into bed I inevitably wake up at 5.30 or 6.00 am on the dot. An unexpectedly sunny weekend resulted in dragging myself out the door for the Notting Hill Flickr meet. The route circled around Holland Park from Notting… Continue reading Last few days of sun
London Open House
Open House London, the Capital’s largest architectural showcase, is taking place on 20-21 September. This year’s event will once again reveal the fabric of London in all its diversity: opening eyes and minds to the architectural gems, contemporary design and areas of urban change that define the city today. I wasn’t too fussed about… Continue reading London Open House
The Thames
Thames= pronounced tmz, though why on earth this is so escapes me. The Thames Festival was on during the weekend and I managed to pop in for part of it, not quite expecting how huge the festival was. We walked across from The London Eye to the Tate and barely scratched the surface of everything… Continue reading The Thames
Living in a cottage in the middle of the wood
Well not quite, but every time I see signage for Swiss Cottage and St John’s Wood I always put them together in my head. I haven’t really posted about where I’m living, probably because I’m still trying to find out about it myself. Currently the boiler isn’t working so everyone is either having baths or… Continue reading Living in a cottage in the middle of the wood
