toast to warm weather

I'm currently dreaming of warm weather. It's actually been surprisingly nice in the city for the past four days (sunny, really warm (like 14/15) and no crazy wind). But now I've had a taste for sun - I don't want it to end. I want to be in Porto, Portugal or the South of France wearing Toast and sipping white wine in an outdoor cafe.

I'm ready for summer.

one for St. Patrick

well it's the closest I'll be to Ireland on St. Patty's day - so it's time to raise a glass tonight at a local Battersea joint to celebrate the irish snake-free island. Plus I love the colour green - so here's a few green inspirations.... Images -At the very top - Dublin Castle statue (my own on a really bad camera) 1. Kew Gardens (L2 or mine), 2.

walking London

It's hard to explain how London is small yet gives the appearance of being huge. Most people don't get a sense of how close things are together due to the tube lines. You go underground for 5 minutes, take a 2 minute tube ride and go up for five minutes and suddenly you start thinking things are a 20 minute walk minimum. In reality, it was probably easier to face the outside crowds and walk the 5 minutes to your next stop.
I'll admit - if you want to get from Notting Hill to Brick Lane - then a tube is required. The rest of the time - walk! Thankfully TimeOut London agrees with me and this week published Great London walks. It's free, fun and some exercise in a city that prefers a hefty amount of fine dining.
Images are L2's.

office envy

~Another Living etc pining - If only I had a office at home. I know I can deal as really we don't have/nor do I need specific space for an office. But if I did - I would like it to look something like this please... and I would want that view too...
