When you think of Brighton, you’d be forgiven if the image of a cosy Parisian style cafe serving delicious macarons wasn’t immediately conjured up in your mind! Cocoa is my favourite place, if I ever have a solo minute (and a few spare pennies!) to sit and enjoy a coffee and a [...]

If you know about the (seemingly infamous) Columbia Road flower market, you might have expected a few more shots of the beautiful array of flowers there is to offer! But as it had been many weeks since my last day trip to London, I enjoyed soaking up “London-y [...]

Nearby, in Carshalton, lie three acres of lavender that are maintained and managed by volunteers throughout the year, who open the fields to the public for harvesting in July. It was once “the lavender capital of the world”, and if you ever have the chance to visit, I think you can understand why. There’s [...]

Living by the sea has its’ perks, but two of my favourite things have got to be the colourful assortment of beach houses, all in beautiful pastel colours of sorts! Secondly, Brighton isn’t short of a cosy little coffee shop that has its’ own niche product, and Scoop and Crumb in the North Laines [...]
