Visiting two lavender fields last weekend was blooming lovely!!I’ll be completing a blog post shortly about the virtues of both @mayfieldlavender and @hitchinlavender , both easy trips from central London and in season just for a short while longer. Arrange your visit soon! 💜 Love this photo of my friend @christianahelenperry as we celebrated her birthday. See my insta stories for more snaps 😊
Loving these soothing purples and blues 💜 @mayfieldlavender looking glorious 😊 If you haven’t been, as per previous post, you need to go soon as the season will be drawing to a close in I think September? @mayfieldlavender - definitely a London highlight 💜 Thanks to my friend @lmchan83 for being my model here 😊
I’ve had such a tranquil weekend at both Mayfield Lavender farm near Croydon (where this photo was taken) and today at Hitchin Lavender Farm in Hertfordshire, both short and easy trips from central London. Was really impressed with both farms and had such a good time with the friends I went with. If you want to go, I’ll be writing a post about both farms soon, but recommend as the lavender season doesn’t last for too long, to get there quickly 🙌 This was my very first lavender farm experience and I’d love to know of others in the UK if you have recommendations?
On Wednesday night a group of us were invited to try the UKs first BBQ boat! We are off at 8pm which was a perfect dusky evening time, the gas BBQ was perfectly set up, and cooked the food quickly for us to enjoy. We took drinks with us and had a good time, just soaking up the atmosphere👌 I loved seeing the sun set in this area and the twinkly night lights of the restaurants and bars of Canary Wharf 🌟 It would be an absolutely lovely thing to do with a group of mates (the boat seats up to 10) and it’s totally worth checking out the times and prices on the website. You don’t necessarily need to book that far ahead either 🙌 I had such a lovely night, its definitely given me more London activity ideas and more #reasonstolovelondon 💜 With special thanks to @lovepopupslondon and @skunaboats for this absolutely awesome [gifted] event- can’t wait to come back!
How’s everyone managing the heat? 😬 Reflecting on my time at Claridges for afternoon tea this weekend- it’s totally worth any extra cost, we absolutely loved our experience and they were most definitely the kings and queens of hospitality. It is so nice to dress up and go somewhere lovely and be treated so well 😊 It was also of course lovely and air conditioned, should you be visiting at the moment, or it would be equally wonderful thinking ahead to cooler months (if you’re a planner, like me). Put it on your London to do list 🙌 In other Tuesday news I may be crazy but I’m off to the gym and then home to veg out! What’s the plans for you on this hottest week of the year?!?
Claridges was looking decidedly beautiful yesterday! @claridgeshotel 💗 Finally visited to celebrate afternoon tea for mums (last) Christmas present. We had a really wonderful time, enjoyed the food and beautiful surroundings but most of all it’s very kind staff. Mariusz, Joshua, Andrew- for your hospitality, attentiveness and super kindness, thank you so much! We had SUCH a lovely time and really appreciated you all as part of it. We also loved seeing the wedding party come out to one of the fab old style London double deckers. It was the perfect day. Afternoon tea in London is one of my favourite things to do and I’ve loved picking up recommendations from @afternoonteadiaries (whom I totally recommend you follow💜) I like them all, but really do love the extra specialness of coming to places like Claridges which really jump out as being quintessentially British and a landmark institution. Any thoughts on where to go next? Lanesborough, Rosewood, Fortnum and Masons?
