Welcome to the Cotswolds part I

Louise — Mon, 05 Nov 2018 17:43:31 +0000

If there is one thing, I have been looking forward to, it was our trip to The Cotswolds! I love London - no doubt about it, but I love going to the countryside just as much. Sometimes the buses, the black cabs, the people and the noise gets to much for me, and I long for a place to be soothed, healed and have my senses put back in order! The Cotswolds do that for me!

Shopping in Carnaby with brunch at The Good Egg

Louise — Mon, 22 Jan 2018 15:16:26 +0000

It is not easy being pregnant and a lover of food! Living in London there are simply too many tempting places to be "eating for two!" So from time to time, it is necessary to go for more healthy choices - and that is what Frenchie and I did last Sunday!

Why you should try out Hot Pot in Chinatown

Louise — Tue, 16 Jan 2018 15:29:53 +0000

I can still remember the first time I had hot pot! I was in Tokyo on a business trip, and I had never heard about this dish before! In Japan hot pot is called Shabu-Shabu - and just like in China and Thailand it is a beautiful, tasty broth containing a variety of East Asian food and ingredients prepared at the dining table. Amazing!

Happy New Year 2018

I can't believe how time flies... I feel it wasn't many hours ago, since I jumped on a plane to Denmark for Christmas celebrations with my family - and now we are officially in January 2018! Oh well, time flies when you are in good company, they say! Well, here we are... 2018! I hope you have all had a wonderful Christmas and celebrated New Years Eve in style!

The Tale as old as Time! Beauty and the Beast Afternoon Tea at The Kensington

Louise — Wed, 22 Nov 2017 15:49:32 +0000

How I just love entering the double-framed doors of The Kensington hotel and being welcomed by a bowler-hatted doorman! There is just something about stepping back in time to a more genteel, service-oriented age (am I right, or am I right?)

A romantic evening out at Bird of Smithfield

Louise — Wed, 15 Nov 2017 14:05:42 +0000

If there is one thing, that I love about London's food-scene, it's the fact that you can find the most amazing restaurants at places, where you would never expect them to be! There is nothing better than coming across a hidden little gem, and last Saturday Frenchie and I certainly found one of them!

Catching the sun in Kyrenia

Louise — Fri, 15 Sep 2017 10:52:41 +0000

As the Summer sighs its last and the days begin to shorten, it's natural to get a little bit glum. Winter is on its way, leaves are turning, you begin to notice that more people are wearing jackets, pedestrians scuttle to nearby taxis rather than walk - and it's increasingly difficult to justify wearing flip flops! I actually do like autumn in London a lot - but if you still haven't had enough of summer, here is a suggestion for you - go to Cyprus!

Going back to my roots – a visit to Denmark’s beautiful countryside

Louise — Tue, 22 Aug 2017 15:02:24 +0000

Most people have a place they call home... I actually have two! There is London, where a live and breathe - and then there is Denmark! When you think of Denmark - you think of Copenhagen! But Denmark is so much more!

Visiting Hitler’s Eagle’s Nest in Berchtesgaden

Louise — Sat, 12 Aug 2017 09:50:13 +0000

One of the places you simply have to visit, when you are in the Bavarian Alps is Kehlsteinhaus, a.k.a. the Eagle’s Nest! Kehlsteinhaus was built under the rule of the National Socialists as a gift for Adolf Hitler to mark his 50th birthday.

Berghotel Rehlegg – Honeymooner’s paradise in the Bavarian mountains

Louise — Tue, 08 Aug 2017 10:25:03 +0000

There are so many things to consider, when choosing a travel destination! Sometimes you want to go where the sun warms the skies, sometimes it is all about beautiful and busy city breaks - and other times you just need to find a place to relax - a place where everything comes together in sweet harmony!
