There are a lot of things I love about summertime. Long days at the beach, afternoon thunderstorms… and sunshine. Life in London doesn’t always (ever?) avail itself to any of these things. So, thank goodness there is outdoor cinema to fill the hole that a 18°C “summer’s” day leaves in my heart. However, outdoor cinema…
What I love the most about art is how subjective it is. What one person may think is complete and utter crap, another may see as having some deeper meaning or beauty. I’ve been to enough art galleries and museums around the world to know where my preference lies. Pretty much all photography, followed by…
London is the second most visited city in the world (after Hong Kong, for all of you playing at home). So, it’s not surprising that it’s rammed with people, any given day of the year. Back when I actually exercised, I’d find myself playing “dodge the selfie stick” when jogging around Southbank. This isn’t really…

I pose a question to you. Where would you go dinosaur hunting in London? My guess is that the city’s south probably wouldn’t top your list. So, it may surprise you to hear that you will encounter dinosaurs on London’s Green Chain Walk. In Crystal Palace, of all places. As a forewarning, you’re probably going…
Living waste free can seem an insurmountable task… at first. I know I was pretty overwhelmed when I decided to push towards being plastic free. I believed I had to tackle absolutely everything at once and that I was the worst person on earth if I let a single plastic bag weave its way into…
We’re finally back from our trip to the Caribbean. To say I’m happy about this would be a gross understatement. General rules of hygiene are the only things stopping me from kissing the streets of London. I’ve never been so stoked to see the place. I have so many stories to tell from the last…
