Weekend Catch Up

Phew! What an awesome weekend!

Saturday began with homemade pancakes and a quick trip to Camden for a very important purchase (the boyfriend needed a biker jacket, of course!) before we went on a wee drive up to Audley End House. We realised this was Néstor's first glimpse of the countryside (despite having lived in the UK for a total of 3 years!) which I think really justified our decision to purchase an annual English Heritage membership! It can be used in Scotland too so I can make use of it when I'm home as well. It's also a great excuse to get out of London for a day, I think we both felt so much better for it and it made the weekend seem even longer!

London Brunching: A Guide

My perfect Sunday: yoga with my friends followed by a yummy brunch and beautiful coffee while we catch up, this is almost always followed by a wander around the shops.

The Counter, Hackney Wick, E3

Let's start with The Counter in Hackney Wick. This place is canal side and really chilled, we visited it for my boyfriend's birthday and were lucky that the weather was nice enough to sit outside. I had the french toast with roast banana and berries - it was amazing and I need to head back there ASAP! We definitely need to revisit - I'm curious to see how it changes in the colder months.

Dishoom, with locations in King's Cross, Covent Garden & Shoreditch

Dishoom is becoming our usual for brunch now. Every time I go I swear I will try something new but so far that sausage naan bread wrap is just too tasty! They do a nice coffee and their Apple, Carrot & Ginger juice is insanely good - freshly made when you order. Unfortunately, I'm dairy intolerant, and every time I have been they don't have soya milk - having sipped a little of their delicious chai, I'd LOVE to try some with soya so I can enjoy my own glass!

Nell's, King's Road, SW3

This place is a post-yoga, post-Barrecore treat! Delicious fresh juices ('Lookin' Mint' is my favourite - apple, kale, celery, mint & cucumber) and smashed avocado! What more could you want for a healthy start to your Sunday?

Thanks for reading!
