Hi everyone, how was your weekend?

My friend Caitlin was in town and it was so nice to have a gal pal around! I think she must have brought the LA sunshine with her because we had gorgeous early autumn weather all weekend long.

Wanting to show her a good time, she motivated us to do two things that we've had on our list for a while - attend a whiskey tasting at Joe's fave whiskey shop and dine at Paradise By Way of Kensal Green. Both were worth waiting for as Caitlin and Joe are big whiskey fans and Paradise proved to have some of the yummiest food and deserts we've had in all of London thus far. I'm still drooling over the pumpkin, shitaki mushroom and walnut pie I ate. Oh my word that was good.

The rest of the weekend was spent lounging around the flat and venturing out to a home design expo that was part of the London Design Festival. I fell in love with too many things out of my reach (like this and this ) but it was definitely a healthy dose of desire and inspiration.

Now it's back to a normal week. Heerree wweee gooo....
