And Sunny serving the puddings (yep, two!)

Well... all I can say is that it's a very good thing I've decided to mostly be vegan (only from Oct to Dec! I'll explain later..)  NOT anywhere near where Sunny and Steve live.

To all my Favourite People
It was the LOVELIEST thing seeing you ;o)

I heart London, I do, I do, I do

I love travelling - I love exploring new places, getting to know new people and well, just the adventure of it all.  I am, however, also really madly in love with my hometown and all the people and places in it (well - most of them!).  Having travelled most of the length of Canada (did I mention how bloody vast this country was?!) to hit Vancouver (which would be my new hometown for a bit), I was heading back to the Smoke.  My big sister was getting married in August - which other than me not missing this for the world, was an amazing reason to go back home and fall in love all over again with London.

Being a Tourist with the Maniagos
One of the many fabulous things about Crisy and Dan's wedding included getting to hang out with family from LA - as well as being a tourist with them!










My cousin, Elvie, taking a photo of Uncle Raf and Auntie Let on the Eye




First time I've actually managed to make the Portrait awards at the National Portrait Gallery - amazing exhibition!  How is it possible for people to be this good?  Such over achievers!




Ah... London rain!

Out Eastside with friends


Yay, al fresco drinking (a big no no in Canada)


Sunday on Brick Lane


Sunny and Carly

And because I do LOVE East London best of all...

Walking through London Fields, swimming in the lido, ALL the markets, the bars and foodie places.  Despite having lived there most of my life, as well as your favourites, there's always something new to check out and either old or new, I'm inspired.

Although gutted to be missing out on the Notting Hill Carnival (okay, so West London can be cool too), Hackney put on a pretty good show itself :o)
