Seven Boroughs: One Month Hanseatic

They say time flies. I rather think it flees - you wake up to find time has left you in its wake, finished the milk and left a feeble note apologising for not saying a proper goodbye. And dammit if it didn’t steal your wallet on the way out!  I’ve spent the last month in …

Reboot… again

So I fell off the blogging wagon, big style… My defence is fairly weak, because when you’re laying up in hotel rooms frankly you should have something better to do than stare listlessly at Netflix churning on your iPad while you lay in a too-small bath in clouds of foam.

#simnight: lessons learned

My awesome friend Boo made this cool Storify for me, so you can do the TL;DR thing and laugh away at my increasingly erratic tweets through the night.

Interlude: freedom!

Review: Cafe Route, Dalston

Do you like coffee? Do you like hipsters? Wait, come back.... It was a few weeks ago now that the Lovely One and I headed up to Dalston to see the Jeweller for the Clapton Jumble Trail. Being busy little bees, we didn't have a lot of time to stop and say hello, so ended …
