Time just keeps flying by. It’s not fair (and it never seems to lengthen when you want it to.)

The last few weeks haven’t been very summery, but in true London style
we have made up for it by enjoying the occasional G&T. (And Pimms.
And Ice Cream. And Wine… and a trip to Le Manoir #anyexcuse)

Re-tried some delicious Thai cuisine (try saying that 6 times in a row)

Another date night with one of my favourite blokes, the one and only (much misaligned) Mr Kiwi, almost in the Queen’s back garden. . . . #MangoTree #Belgravia #cocktails #bloggerinvite #ThaiCuisine #LoveLondon #eeeeeats #CheatMeal #onthetable #moodofmytable #dinner #bestfoodworld #devourpower #lovefood #lefooding #eatmunchies #Thai #mytinyatlas #mytravelgram #wanderlust #passionpassport #londonbylondoners #londonlive #bestfoodworld #luxury #livemusic #toplondonrestaurants #mangocremebrulee #beer #flatlay

Turned a cheeky early evening drink into a party complete with h’ordeuvres and Americans (plus an adoptee).

Went here. Still no blue skies – 3rd time we have tried.

Whilst admittedly I’ve spent today ill in bed with a cold, my dreams have been full of exotic summers and Brighton landmarks… . . . #Brighton #LoveGreatBritain #latergram #LoveTheWorld #beautifuldestinations #aroundtheworld #photomafia #chasing_facades #nofilter #noblueskieseitherdamnit #travelblogger #travelforeign #mischief #travelingourplanet #wanderlust #myunicornlife #offthebeatentrack #liveauthentic #quirky #bbctravel #cntraveler #lonelyplanet #worldtravelbook #darlingweekend #IG_BritishIsles #VisitEngland #VisitBritain

I couldn’t get rid of her pressed the cat into model service for a (sponsored) travel essentials post – lord knows she doesn’t do anything else to earn a crust in this house!

Mmmm, this happened at Hawker House. Nitro Ice Cream.

This happened (eventually, despite the best efforts of British Rail).

This, this makes me so happy. A group of the loveliest ladies celebrating another lovely and her impending wedding. . . . #TheFable #HenNight #Holborn #Farringdon #LoveLondon #expat #restaurant #moodofmytable #blackandwhite #monochrome #visitlondon #londonbylondoners #luxury #mischief #champagne #ontheroad #eeeeeats #CheatMeal #FRavorites #devourpower #lovefood #lefooding #eatmunchies #yesyumr #wedding #cocktails #TheAlburquequeSquirrelIsInTheRedPhoneBox #travelblogger #travelforeign #fun

Brexit seemed to have happened somehow, which we are all still reeling about.

Got a bit posey on Brighton Beach…

This is how I want to watch open air movies at the beach forever & ever. At sunset in a comfy bed with hotdogs & cider brought to us by Bill Murray. (Ignore the poser on the bed). . . . #inbedwithibis #Brighton #bloginvite #BrightonBeach #seaside #latergram #mischief #quarterpounderwithcheese #travelblogger #mischief #latergram #iamatravelette #mytinyatlas #hotdogs #pulpfiction #mytinyatlas #mytravelgram #guardiancities #letsgosomewhere #lovegreatbritain #travel #traveler #england #daytripping #cntraveler #lonelyplanet #myunicornlife

All in all, despite a few stresses and strains, it has been a lovely few weeks.
