What a day. Perhaps it’s been too long since I planned a day because not only did I forget to check the weather when I headed towards Basel today, but I forgot to check whether the 3 museums I was heading to were open. Spoiler alert – it rained and the museums are closed on […]
I have meant to go to Kew a few times this past year when the weather has been right knowing it would be a big walk around and I was right. We lucked out that the night we got there the air was cold but not freezing, the weather was dry and there was no […]
A visit to Hampstead Heath is on the agenda and a google search brought me to this blog. With its many entries on Hampstead a good reading left me knowing this is a place to return to. SO as we head out for the day my expectations are high though my need to cover lots […]
I am so happy to be back in NY. In the past couple of weeks I have eaten and shopped, walked and watched, stayed in, ordered in, seen the Ballet, gone to the Opera, visited museums and my daughter came to visit. But today stood out because I just explored, I was in the moment, […]

After heading down Brick Lane to finally see inside the Nomadic Community Garden we took a quick trip up to see what is the Portobello Road Market and a general peek at Notting Hill while my son was visiting. We had a tasty but incredibly slow lunch at Pizza East. We were lucky to get […]
I cannot believe it was this morning that we went to get flowers at the Columbia Road Flower Market. It has been a huge exhausting day 18,867 steps, at least 4 bake shops/sweet shops, a deli or two or more and 5 or six amazing private gardens. The walk to Columbia Road was about ten […]
It’s Easter Sunday and the Waffle House in Fredrick Maryland is packed. Oddly there was no huge sign visible from the highway but we had googled and knew where it was. Gotta love the Waffle House Some well done hash browns with onions and a sweet tea. A bit of heaven. And the smell of […]
Perhaps we have hit the most authentic or at least designed for locals soup dumpling shop Located in a tiny rustic storefront in flushing we are the only diners at 3 pm on a Thursday afternoon. The menu is a challenge. The young waitress has a complete command of English and our soup dumpling are […]
