Pauline's

Pauline lives in Archway, one of the highest points in London, in a huge victorian house. The entrance is bright and colourful and her room is full of many great little details.

British Spring

Two weeks ago, I had a nice long weekend in London where - despite the stormy weather - spring had already founds its way. So lovely with all the cherry trees and magnolias, and how great to be able to experience spring twice this year.

Even though the trees were blossoming, it was still a proper London weather, cold, humid and of cause rainy, to my luck mostly in the evenings.

It was great to spend some time alone and I did some stuff I hadn't done for years, like going to exhibitions, and the ballet, and just hanging out without having to be anywhere, which was good for a change.

Martins Home

Back in October, after going to France I spend a couple of days in London catching up with old friends and visiting a couple of my favorite places. Sadly I never have enough time to go to all the places that I want to, let alone see people that I haven't seen for ages or drink all the delicious coffee that I would like to.

I had the pleasure of staying with Martin in his beautiful apartment in Hackney. So I felt right a home in my old neighborhood, between all the books and plants, bright light and a lovely new flatmate for a couple of days.

Roberta's

Last time I was in London I spend a night at Roberta's. Her place is very homey and interesting, cause there is so many colours, chaos, details and (dust)bunnies.

A Place I Really Like - Wyvern Bindery!

I recently discovered that I had neglected to make a post about my former work place in London. It's been a while but during my recent visit to London, I dropped by to say hi and it was just as nice as ever.

The place is one big mess, and you can hardly get around from all the things stocked up in each corner, but it captures really well the soul of all the nice people working there and all the different and exiting jobs they get in the door.

I am really happy that I was part of it for a while. This is one of the places that really made a home for me in London.
