the beast of Bodmin

so Cornwall apparently has its own 'Sasquatch' or 'big foot'. I once talked about Harrods selling animals (like lions, tigers and most likely bears). Well, it's an old legend that a baby puma or cougar was bought from Harrods and sent down to some wealthy crazy person in the middle of Cornwall. Unfortunately, as the animal got larger and larger the owner couldn't keep him anymore and instead of calling animal control or not buying a ridiculous pet in the first place - he released it into the wild. And now the Bodmin moors are 'haunted' by the beast who looks for food in an 'unnatural' environment.

Once and a while someone claims to see it - but there have been no pictures.

It's a balloon

It's actually a dolphin. Apparently albino dolphins are pink. You have to wonder if this is a hoax? If not, I wonder how long this little guy will last as being pink doesn't really protect him from predators (human or sharks). More information and image via

The first day of spring

It's the first day of Spring. It's sunny, warm (14 degrees) and beautiful out in the capital. Today is one of those days that I'm glad I live in London. Flowers are blooming and market shopping is mandatory this weekend.

topshop fix

I'm a good london gal (if I can call myself a Londoner?!) and do love Topshop. Preferably at like 10 a.m. on a weekday morning though where you don't have to wait in line or listen to about 10 different and very thrilling 16 year old girl conversations. However, Topshop has recently gone on a day-glo kick - one that I can't get on board with. However, they are also doing loads of florals and as I'm more of a sweet girly dresser than hard rock machine... I'd like these for a few picnics.
