After watching an interesting BBC4 documentary one weekday evening on the life and work of Yayoi Kusama we booked tickets to see her art exhibition at the very popular Infinity Mirror Rooms at the Tate modern.

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!

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.
Having booked free tickets in advance, we admired the 360-degree views of the city’s skyline, along with lush tropical greenery, from the open air terrace and observation decks at Sky Garden.

Visiting friends and family back home in County Durham, Newcastle, Tynemouth and Northumberland – quite the tour around the North East!

Famous for some of the best views of the London skyline, a large group of us spent the day up Primrose Hill with heaps of picnic food and booze!

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.

After a taste of the coast just a couple of weekends earlier when visiting the New Forest, we took the ferry across the Solent for a proper coastal escape visiting family in the Isle of Wight.

To celebrate spring we escaped the city to Brockenhurst village in the New Forest. This lovely little rural village is less than two hours from London, and home to native free roaming ponies.
