I'm travelling this week, so my tablet has been switched out with a pocket sketchbook for some traditional doodles on the go ☀️

And I've been so fortunate to visit TWO Moomin shops this week! Both equally lovely and dangerous for one's wallet 👀

The interior of the Covert Garden shop has just been renovated and it looks great! Sadly didn't get any pictures without other people, so I won't post them here. But I can highly recommend visiting to see for yourselves!

London antics :)

Before leaving Camden, we HAD to visit the Moomin shop, and Cheese made a friend

Leaving London: it was time to pack up and drive a few hours to visit family friends in Kent

(Doesn't she look SO comfortable)

The 2nd bnb had some really funky decor :3

Of course, we had to visit Rochester Castle

I didn't get any good shots of cheese that showed the scale/height of the Castle bcs I was SO nervous of dropping her a long way down into what used to be a cesspit ._.

Day 1 in Kent:

We had a burger for brunch (vegetarian as to not offend cheese), visited some friends, then got a smoothie :3

We then moved to our final bnb and had a dinner to save my bank account

STAY TUNED FOR MORE CHEESE

Gardening Bloomsberries, stationery hunting - plus a book or two!! 🤣

Popping onto the blog today to share a few adventures from my trip to London at the weekend! I’m lucky enough to live within a reasonable travelling distance from the Big Smoke – in fact, the current services are working very efficiently, with the fast trains taking just over an hour – so this means I can take advantage of shopping and gallery-visiting opportunities. Saturday’s visit was because…

We went to London this weekend and visited the Moomin Shop in Covent Garden but everything was so expensive I didn't buy anything lol. It was also too crowded to properly look around. There was a queue to the Moomin Shop! Unbelievable.

Kind of regret not getting at least something small like the Moominpapa cookie cutter (not pictured).

First full day in London - Went to the British Museum, then left for Covent Garden ( I saw the Moomin shop and almost died but my parents were on a hurry so I couldn’t go in) and lastly, went to the Tower of London

i miss flatmate matty as well 💔💔💔 i just need them doing like super domestic things like going furniture shopping (or for decorations or something) together or like painting one of their rooms together and it’s just super cute 😭😭

SO not the right time of year for this but... christmas decoration shopping in your first year of living together my GOD!!!! it's only a few months since you started sharing the flat, and you're both going back home for actual christmas, but you figure it might be nice to decorate the flat to get into the festive spirit anyway. there's definitely a debate about real vs. artificial christmas tree that matty loses, because getting a fir tree into an east london flat is a herculean task (but when you move into your bigger house in years to come, real all the way), but everything else is as plain sailing as it could be if you were being domestic as hell with the person you're pining for lol. but you make a whole day out of buying decorations - you traipse around shops in various parts of london, giggling at how cheesy it all is, picking up quirkier ornaments and wreaths in spitalfields market, going for some really boujee shit (and moomins!) in covent garden, breaking up the day with a nice lunch and a drink somewhere, then getting hot chocolates to go as you continue shopping. it's such a wholesome day, and matty's battling the urge to hold your hand the whole time - he does, at one point, when he nearly loses you in the crowds of people in the tube station, and your heart breaks at how right it feels, shattering when he lets go. as soon as you're home, it's go time for the decorations; wreaths and tinsel and advent calendars first, then assembling the tree, then adding lights and baubles. matty takes a pic of you with the lights and threatens to make it an album cover because "look how cool and hot and indie you look, babe!" lol, and you have to fight the urge to squeal at him all messy-haired and grinning as he adds the angel to the top like "look, it's mini you". yeah, it's so sweet, but so painful for you both lmao <3

UK Trip October 2023 (Part 11)

We return to London!

As we continued to London, and passed by Abergavenny, it started to rain. Mum's friend happened to remember a song 'Abergavenny' by Marty Wilde at this point, and played it on her phone. We made some snide comments when he sang 'sunshine forever, lovely weather'.

Once we got to London, we travelled by bus to nearby Tower Bridge (ate at Pizza Express, another yum!) and went for a stroll down there. We also saw someone searching for something with a torch by the river???

We also saw what looked like a rave party with modern music playing at the Globe Theatre (I can only imagine Shakespeare's characters in costume having a modern kind of party haha)

I held my phone like a vise when taking photos where they could fall a long height or into the water.

Headed back home for the night (a tourist asked us what bus to take while getting a little too close for comfort (especially considering I wasn't wearing a mask at the moment))

Time change that night, so I got an extra hour of sleep. Also mum's friend made us a bowl of fruit salad every morning (thankfully not mixed together which I'm not keen on) and the fruit was so juicy and good, I tried to savour them as much as possible during my final days there 😭

The next day, we took a brief detour to see Blenda, who turned 101! (mum's friend made Welsh cakes for her because she's also Welsh) She's a cute little lady, but also has a sharp wit about her! She also was visited by a couple of her friends, also cute old ladies, one of which was from Hong Kong and brought some store bought pie cookies (chocolate banana, and honey, we tried the former which I liked, but mum and her friend didn't really care for it) Blenda wouldn't hold back from telling her first friend to (lightheartedly) go away when she was taking her time with leaving (she was packing for a trip to Japan the next day) or telling her second friend that she doesn't want any more food gifts because she has so much. She also talked about how she wouldn't be afraid to mow down the street in her wheelchair if she had her way, but she still would have to watch out for distracted youngsters on their devices. Blenda was a hoot!

After then, mum's friend had to go to a meeting with her fellow tour guides, which she claimed would be pretty long and boring, so she let us to spend some time outside. So we walked along Soho, walking up and down Drury Lane, King's Way, Aldwych, and briefly encountered the British Museum. We mostly looked at the menus of the restaurants we passed by, which looked pretty good, but alas couldn't stop at because we already ate.

We also found this giant upside down globe. Honestly, if we stopped here first, I think it would have taken me the full 1.5-2 hours to wait for mum's friend's meeting to finish!

When mum's friend was just about done, we went back to the building she was at and we wandered into Covent Garden, saw a witty street performer who got everyone to encourage him to swallow a long balloon (which I thought looked like a hattifattener) Also walked past a young singer nathanreeve05, heard someone sing opera on the stairs below (even though he dressed very casually) and by chance encountered and went to a Moomin shop and bought some Snufkin socks (I would have liked to have a mug, but 1: it was expensive, 2: we weren't certain how well it would have travelled)

Had tuna pasta at home for dinner, which brought me back to my early college years, which I made for my lunches

Halloween! Side note: In the UK, you let trick or treaters know you'll have sweets for them if you leave a pumpkin by your window. Meanwhile in the US, you just leave your front light on.

Went for our morning walk, and I saw a yellow bell pepper with a face carved in it as a makeshift pumpkin xD

'If you write a story, this is where it takes place'

Went to the British Museum (saw some street performers doing a rendition of Ghost Town by The Specials while heading over there)

With most of history being serious, it's nice to see proof that children have always been playing games.

Hello old friend

Mosaic duck!

I admire how tiny these are, the one in the middle is a bit bigger than my thumb!

We visit the next exhibit in the next post here: [link]
