Sweden before the lock down
There is a saying, and I am sure you heard it, don’t postpone to tomorrow what you can do today. It is great advice and I didn’t adhere to it when I postponed my trip to Sweden to see friends and family. In my defense I had no idea that a global pandemic was lurking, … Continue reading
Seafood lunch at Parsons, Covent Garden
Since I moved to the Kent coast from London I feel a lot closer to the food we eat. The butcher sells meat from nearby farms, the lamb grazes on heritage land, if you follow the seasons there is plenty of locally grown fruit and vegetables and you can buy locally caught, sustainable fish off … Continue reading

Delicious Malaysian food in Deal
The other day I was asking the fishmonger if there would be any crabs this weekend. He scratched his head and said it would either be an abundance or very few, if any. All this had to do with the full moon and the tides, I feel like I learn something about the sea every … Continue reading
Go Native in Neal’s Yard
London is many things, busy, bustling, full of people, polluted, beautiful and what I perhaps love most of all, it has something for everyone.
