DLR Discovery Tour and Greenwich

The UK summer is continuing with the sunshine makes the surroundings look so beautiful! My boyfriend and I went on a DLR discovery tour which started at Tower Gateway and finished a Greenwich. Here are my thoughts on the tour along with some photos of Greenwich.

When we arrived we were given a goody bag with headphones, pen, puzzle, oyster holder, and pin (see photo below). The DLR staff were friendly including Doris the DLR character! Along with a audio set to listen to the tour guide on, though I was skeptical about this at first due to initial technical difficulties it was really helpful when walking around Greenwich as I could always hear the tour guide. 

We were put on our own DLR which didn't stop along the tour (much to the disappointment to those waiting to get on the DLR!). The first part of the tour focused on the history docklands going through Shadwell, Limehouse, Canary Wharf and ending at Greenwich. The tour then continued on foot. 

The tour of Greenwich was fascinating, focusing on the buildings which looked amazing in the glorious sunshine! Greenwich has always been one of my favourite parts of London as it's like a small town with beautiful architecture, a history focusing on astrology, a food and craft markets and plenty of green open space. A great place to relax and unwind from the hustle and bustle of London life. 

What is your favourite place to visit in London? 

Love,

Booja-Booja Fine De Champagne Truffles Review

Now, who doesn't love chocolate? I certainly do! Though, I try not to eat it too often partly because I know it is not good for you and partly because dairy can make me bloat (attractive, I know!!). These Booja-Booja Fine De Champagne Truffles are by far my favourite chocolate treat. They are dairy-free and only contain six natural ingredients. Unlike most dairy-free chocolates I have tried these actually melt in your mouth and have a smooth centre similar to the creamy and smooth centre of Lindt truffles. The light champagne taste is subtle and comes as more of a refreshing aftertaste. It takes a lot of willpower for me not to eat the whole box in one sitting! The packaging is also beautiful making them a lovely gift for friends, family and even for yourself!  What is your favourite sweet treat?  Love,  E. x

Day Out: Camden Market, Primrose Hill and Regents Park

Hope you are all enjoying your bank holiday weekend so far! Today, as the weather was the perfect summers day, sunny with a fresh breeze, I decided to take a walk. I started at Camden Town walking through Camden Market, Primrose Hill and Regents Park before getting the tube home from Baker Street. Prepare yourself for a lot of photos in this blog post, which I hope you enjoy as much as enjoyed taking them! Camden Shop Fronts When I first arrived at Camden Town the first thing that caught my eye was the bold shop displays. All brightly coloured, some with impressive 3D features which you can't help but admire. Pret a Manger and Acessorize Shop Fronts. 3D Shop Fronts More 3D Shop Fronts. Camden Lock  Nothing beats a stroll down a river to clear you mind! I love the mixture of buildings covered by weeping willow trees.

Favourite Teas August 2018

What is nicer than sitting down after a long day with a cup of tea and a sweet treat? (perhaps a Booja-Booja truffle! see review here: https://bit.ly/2vw8BBg ). Here are my top five favourite teas at the moment. Irish Breakfast- Barry's Tea I buy this Irish tea from the world foods section of my supermarket. For years I didn't drink breakfast tea as to me it tasted like dishwater. How very un-British of me! That was until earlier this year when I tried Barry's Tea. Barry's tea tastes stronger than other breakfast teas I have tried and it has a sweet yet earthy taste. The perfect drink for a quiet evening in. Bedtime Infusion- Sainsbury's  I brought this tea when I had trouble sleeping with my anxiety. The tea itself tastes like sweet camomile and smells like lavender. The whole experience of drinking this tea very calming and is the perfect way to wind down after a busy day or went I feel on edge. Pure Peppermint- Twinings Peppermint tea is...
