London

Ich hab‘ den Februar mit einem London Ausflug gestartet. Und es war toll natürlich. Bleiben nachträglich noch folgende Fragen für mich offen: a) Werde ich es schaffen so tolle Kardamomknoten zu backen wie die bei Gail’s Bakery? b) Hätte ich zum Frühstück beim Covent Garden Grind Cafe doch lieber die poached eggs on Avocado bestellen sollen? Und natürlich die Frage von Julia c) Wer bekommt denn nun die andere Hälfte vom Herzanhänger?…!

Naja, wahrscheinlich hast Du’s Dir ja eh‘ schon gedacht. Natürlich hat die Rote Katze den BFF Anhänger geschenkt bekommen. Ganz zufällig passt sein Halsband farblich auch noch perfekt dazu :-). Die rosafarbene Hälfte hab‘ ich dann mal lieber behalten, denn ich bin mir nicht sicher wie er rosa findet (ist ja doch ein Kerl! und kein Weibchen). Aber wir sind nun auf jeden Fall bereit für den Valentinstag.

Greetings from London!

Vintage Heaven

Staying there for one night, means in my calculation: Two times breakfast is possible! Well, that’s what we did. The always friendly hubby was kind enough, not to ask questions, why we have to go especially to this place, etc etc and were just helpful to find it! The first morning we went by bus to the „Tina we salute you“ cafe in Dalston. The food was great, (nice idea to poach the eggs with a plastic bag), nice staff, we left quite satisfied. However, I am not sure if I really need to go back there again next time?! It is not that special to me.

Poached Eggs

Our highlight on the next breakfast was „Lantana“. Underground station is Goodge Street. and this is like heaven there, well, for me! mixed guests, all ages and kinds, great food, great staff, great athmosphere, so relaxed…,fantastic place! if you go to London. go there, it will make you happy! I can recommend the banana bread, or, no, maybe more the french toast, or the scrambled eggs, or….?! I like everything!!

Banana Bread

Afterwards I wanted to check out the Columbia Road, not for the flower market, bec it was saturday, no just for the shops there. I love it! I want to life there. It was great. All those tiny, colourful shops! with handmade things (j&b the shop), the best shop with fabrics i have ever seen (beyond fabrics), vintage heaven with cakehole cafe, just to mention a few of them!, every shop has their own bench standing on the street, so the hubby was very pleased to get a break every 20 minutes when I changed shops. columbia street, we will be coming back soon! promised!

Going to Anthropology

Going to london, meant in former times „going to topshop“. Since 2 years or so, it got a new meaning: „Going to Anthropology“. And that’s what I did yesterday.
why is it, that you always want to move in their store?!? how do they do this??? and why are they constantly so good with all that stuff for the kitchen, bathroom, etc.? I wanna buy everything and put it in the luggage to bring it home… it is just too expensive and you have to decide, for only a few small items, which you can bring home easily by plane….see what I got this time….
