Its a new year and i've been celebrating by trying to see a bit more of London. I'm back to work at Nude (photo above for you mother!) and totally loving it! We have a bit of a new set up, a new lunch menu through the week and still roasting our in house blend East. Fun times. I've been making the most of my days off and been doing lots of exploring, by myself and with the lovely LC.
Friday night last week LC and i had a fab night in Soho-a-go-go. We started with a walk around the place from bond street station and when our appetites found us we headed on over to Beetroot. Home of vego and vegan deliciousness and their infamous sausage rolls. MMMMM.
And, even though we were SO full, we headed over to the hummingbird bakery for a bit of red velvet loving.
After that it was officially martini time. LC took me to Punk, an infamous soho night spot. It was pretty cool, even if we did spend the whole night being jealous of other people who had friends.
Saturday we braved the sub zero temperatures and went to Broadway Market in Hackney. It was absolutely freezing. But the markets were really good. While LC and I were waiting for our coffees from teh Climpson and Sons stall we bumped into some old friends from high school: Alice and Blaise! It was so random, being in the middle of London and bumping into people that i knew from Adelaide. After that LC and I walked down through all the stalls and had a delicious vegie burger while taking in all the sights (CUTE BOYS EVERYWHERE). By then we were freaking freezing so we had some yummy carrot cake and earl grey in a little cafe. mmm.
Exploring some of the area around Nude after work on tuesday night i wandered down shoreditch high street and went into Present. A mens wear shop with heaps of lovely clothes and also home to the World Barista Champion Gwylim. I had just had a coffee so i didnt get another one but i will have to head there some time soon for a caffine hit. I also stopped by the Bookartbookshop but it was closed so i had to go back on Wednesday night. I picked up some lovely zines about friendship and bears and you, me and the sea!
After that i met up with LC and we headed over to Hoxton square to go to mocando for dinner and drinks. it was such a gorgeous little place with yummy spanish food and a to die for cake selection. I had a pisco sour and LC and i had a wonderful D&M.
Then we went to the book club just off of great eastern road. They do lots of fun things like poetry readings and speed dating! hahah speed dating! so LC and I will probably head back here at some stage in the future.
YAY, so thats what i have been up to this week. Oh and i went o an exhibition opening at seventeen gallery tonight and i am going to see matt from work DJ tomorrow night. But thats Another week.......
