I have always said that one of the best things about being an expat is the people you meet. You have the opportunity to make life long friendships with people whose path you are highly unlikely to have passed had you stayed at home. One of those people is my friend, Justine. She recently moved…

The Dubai Frame
I’m not sure how many words I’m going to have for this. The overwhelming feeling is “ok, I’ve done that now”. Not the most inspiring statement. As the name would suggest, or maybe it doesn’t unless you live here and know about it, The Dubai Frame is a giant photo frame built in Dubai. If…
The Seychelles – Part 1
After a seemingly very quick flight from Dubai, we arrived in the Seychelles just in time for a beautiful sunrise. The view from the plane is always one of my favourites because of the clouds (see here), but what made this extra special is the tiny islands you see all around you. I knew that…
A Quickie from the air
If you’ve followed this blog for long, you will know that I am a big fan of clouds. The best place to see clouds is to be in or over them. Sadly I don’t have wings, so the best place is in the window seat of an airplane. As is now becoming a bit of…
KK’s Texan Grill House, South Croydon
I have mentioned before that one of the bonuses about being an expat is all the lovely people you meet that you normally wouldn’t have, but that it’s sad when those lovely people leave. It’s not as bad though when they end up just down the road from your family! Lesley is one of those…
Le Raj, Banstead, Surrey
The spot of “My Favourite Restaurant” is a really tricky one to fill. I like so many different types of food, and have been fortunate enough to eat in so many different countries, that I can never quite decide on an absolute winner. I mean, how do you choose between your favourite steak place vs…
The Barge House, London N1
You know how every now and again you see something on Instagram and think “I need that”? It could be a new face mask, or a mermaid blanket, or something delicious to eat. But you just know that you will have to have it in your life at some point. Well, that was me and…
My Chocolate
As laid out in my previous two posts (here and here), Mummy and I do love a good adventure. With this in mind and knowing that I would be home on certain dates, I bought us a chocolate making class via Virgin Experiences. It was a bit of a random gamble but I went with…
Our London Adventure – Pt 2
After eating a lot of very yummy pasta at Prezzo, and realising that it was technically still Rush Hour, we decided to walk across the road to Trafalgar Square. Naturally I had to sing “Feed the Birds” despite the fact there are no birds to feed anymore. I couldn’t tell you the last time I…
Our London Adventure – Pt 1
As anyone who has read my blog knows, Mummy and I do enjoy a good adventure. We also like stage shows. We do like food too. So when we go off adventuring and it includes not only a show but yummy eats too, we feel like we have hit the jackpot! One such trip was…
