A London Food and Travel blog full of unique experiences.
I think I might be a travel addict. It occurred to me the other day when dreaming up our next trip that I have an unhealthy view of the world (ie. the view that I work in between my holidays) and that I’m not alone in this.
There are some moments in your life that you’ll never forget – and I expect that the Coronation of King Charles III is one of those.
To be living in London for such a momentous event (and that of the passing of his Mother, HM Queen Elizabeth II) is both a privilege and an honour.
I have a confession to make. I have a full blown cat addiction, and, I’m not even sorry. Those soft little ears, twitching tails and indifferent faces cast a spell that have us dashing around the globe and visiting enough cat cafes to have a shortlist of 10 of the best cat cafes in the world. All the while a sleepy, non-rent-paying little white & tabby cat snoozes at home in London…
Once we’ve booked flights and perused hotels, Google searching for a cat cafe is one of the first things I do – and I’ve been accused of carrying out those 3 tasks in a slightly different order. It’s something I can neither confirm nor deny, but we do have a rather high hit rate of booking accommodation close to cat cafes. I’ll just leave that there, shall I?
Both my friend and I had eyed up the beautiful scenery, cozy thatched cottages and wild beaches of the Cornish coast often enough to each have a wishlist of places to explore, so on our Cornwall road trip, we tried to fit in as many places as we could over a long weekend.
Have you ever visited the Bhaktivedanta Manor Hare Krishna Temple, Watford? Back in February 1973, a property known as Piggott’s Manor was donated to the Hare Krishna movement in by former Beatle George Harrison, after the Radha Krishna Temple in central London had become inadequate to house the growing number of devotees.
A mock Tudor Hare Krishna temple was the last thing I’d expect to see in the Hertfordshire countryside – but then there is the stunning Neasden Temple, a Wimbledon Buddhist temple and several mosques across London, so why am I surprised?
