San Sebastián

September 2022
After finishing my work at the ICR and before starting my new position at Isomorphic Labs, we booked a bit of time off with a 5-night break in San Sebastián. During our stay we enjoyed the food and wine the city is known for, as well as swimming and sunbathing in La Concha Bay, taking in the views from Monte Urgull and Igueldo, and exploring the vineyards of nearby Rioja.

Whitstable

August 2022
We escaped the city (and the heat!) with a ladies trip to Whistable. The cool coastal breeze and a swim in the sea was a very welcome break from the prolonged record breaking temperatures in London. We set up camp along the pebble beach where we enjoyed fish and chips with champagne, and later on oysters from The Forge with a bottle of Chapel Down English sparkling wine from the popular Offy. Whitstable is know for its oysters so having a few was a must!

Kew Gardens

August 2022
After purchasing tickets online, we enjoyed a sunny Saturday afternoon exploring Kew Gardens. It was my first time at Kew, so we visited some of the gardens must see attractions; the temperate house, the palm house and the waterlily house.

Ronnie Scott’s

May 2022
Another must for me while living in London was to go to the world famous Jazz club Ronnie Scott’s. So we booked tickets to see Kahil El’Zabar Quartet. The main show room was big while at the same time still incredibly intimate with soft lighting and plush seating. I couldn’t help but feel incredibly cool in Ronnie Scott’s! A great night out sipping cocktails and enjoying some jazz.
