We had such a fun afternoon with Sam and James. They will always have a special place in our hearts because THEY MADE US CAKE

Thanks Sam & James, it was a pleasure to be stuck in traffic with you. xx

Jen’s birthday trip to London

We whisked my big sister Jen to London to celebrate her birthday. We walked (a LOT!), we ate, we soaked up the sun and most importantly we went to see A Chorus Line. This was our all time favourite film growing up (which may have something to do with us both doing degrees in dance!), so I knew it would be the perfect birthday surprise

Happy birthday to my wonderful, beautiful, funny sister xxxx

We stayed in the Z Hotel in Soho, which was awesome.

It was so flipping brilliant, we could not have loved it more (unless we were in it)

London baby

We went to London last weekend and had a fun few days catching up with folk.

I would like to thank Apple (for the iPhone), Canon (for the 5D mk3), and Oyster (for the moves), without whom this post would not have been possible.

We loved:

* Staying at the Hoxton

* A cinnamon pretzel in Hyde Park

* Drinking delicious coffee in a car park at the Nude Espresso Roastery

* Being taken to a secret cocktail den, Lounge Bohemia, by Pete’s brother

* Pancakes at The Diner with Craig and Kate

* Looking at photos at the V&A Museum, in particular the work of Don McCullin in the ‘Island Stories’ exhibit.

* Playing ping pong

* Meeting a lovely couple who are getting hitched next week

* Having a delicious hot chocolate (or two) at Hotel Chocolat with Kyle and Annie

* Seeing a northern face (Liam Crawley)

* Stuffing our faces at Pizza East

* Jumping in a photobooth

London Baby!

Last weekend we went to London. For the first time ever we went on the train; no weddings, no meetings, no car full of camera stuff. Just me, my love, my new 5D3 and some friends to meet when we got there (Emma and Ian – the Big Bouquet crew!).

On the first day we mostly did this (pics taken with Fuji x100 btw):

We also ate at some lovely places in Shoreditch, lunch at The Albion drinks at The Book Club and dinner at Pizza East (thanks for the recommendations Florence Finds!) and were joined by the lovely Stu Cooper. We were far too busy nattering and stuffing our faces with various treats to take pictures, it’s for the best, it would make us look greedy.

The next day we did tourist things, because I’d never even seen Buckingham Palace and that’s just WRONG! I used my new toy, a Canon 5D mk3, which I flipping LOVE.

I had this dream, to walk down the mall with an ice cream.

I do not condone running into the road to take a picture (unless you are Peter Lawson, in which case I can’t stop you).

Spot the difference…

Ok, I can cross “see Buckingham Palace” off my list.

Possibly my favourite pictures ever.

Amazing trip, thanks Em and Ian xxx
