Day Out: Hyde Park and Kensington Park.

To be honest with you the last time I went to Hyde Park was for Winter Wonderland last year! As it is a Bank Holiday Monday I decided to take a walk through both parks (starting at Hyde Park Corner Tube Station and ending at South Kensington Tube Station) to see what I discovered. I love taking long walks with my camera. There is so much to see at Hyde Park and Kensington Park you couldn't do it all in one day so I definitely plan to return again soon, especially whilst the weather is still nice. Flowers The flowers throughout both parks were bold and beautiful. I couldn't help but take photos of them. Just to mix it up a bit, some trees as well... Boy and Dolphin Fountain  It looks more like a fish to be than a dolphin but nevertheless, the amount of detail carved onto the statue including the scales is worth admiring.  The Huntress Fountain  I assumed this was a statue of Cupid but clearly I was wrong. It is a statue of Diana, t...

Food Fridays: Pod

Can you believe it is already Friday again? I feel like this week has just flown by. Maybe that is just the excitement that this weekend is a bank holiday weekend! For today's Food Friday I decided to go to Pod . Pod's, aim is to provide healthy on the go food. I would describe their food as fresh, delicious and super healthy. I have had "food to go" from Pod a couple of times but never taken the time to eat in until today. The decor is very modern and fresh with vines hanging over the door way. The interior was white a green with wooden beams creating a rustic feel. Making it the perfect place to go for a quiet lunch. Today I had the Persian Aubergine and Pomegranate Salad, Lemon and Pistachio Cake and Iced Coffee Cacao. The total price was £12.66. The salad was lovely and fresh, with the pomegranate seeds providing bursts of flavour. The only improvement I would suggest is to cut mint leaves smaller so they are more evenly distrubted. A couple of t...

Day Out: A Walk Round Covent Garden

Hope you are all having a lovely Sunday! This morning I decided to take a stroll round Covent Garden and up to Tottenham Court Road. The weather was not as sunny as yesterday but thankfully, there was only light rain. Covent Garden always feels like taking a step back in time with the old stunning architecture and cobbled streets. The Jubilee Market is all indoors (great for poor weather) and filled with handmade treasures! There was so much beautiful jewellery, paintings, sculptures and pottery. I have made a mental note to go back there for Christmas presents! I then stopped for breakfast at Starbucks to have Peach Lemonade Ice Tea and Five Grain Oatmeal which is delicious! After I finished in Covent Garden I walked up to Tottenham Court Road to go to Primark for bedding (exciting I know!). On the way, I walked past an antique bookshop which I would have loved to have gone in but sadly it is was closed! I also stopped to take pictures of the Harry...
