Beautiful Santorini

22 Jun 2019 by petrinachristine

Santorini has been on my bucket list for a while and I was so excited to be ticking it off. Hazel found a great deal on Easyjet which worked out under £600 each for 6 days. The Greek island is picturesque with breath-taking views. Day 1 We had an early start with a 3am pickup time. The taxi arrived at 2.50 but I wasn’t ready. The journey to the airport was interesting with the taxi driver trying to play Vin […]

Lorenzo of Shirley

19 Jun 2019 by petrinachristine

Lorenzo is a lovely Italian Restaurant based in Shirley. My friend Mairo invited me on several occasions and today was another great time to visit as I hadn’t seen her in a while. As soon as we arrived we were seated at our usual table by the window. The staff greeted us with a smile which made you feel welcome. The restaurant is very popular and people kept arriving which shows what a great place it is. There are so […]

London Town

14 Jun 2019 by petrinachristine

I purchased the Time Out Shortlist London Book a couple of years ago and I bookmarked all the places I wanted to visit. When I was putting my Reading List together I came across the book collecting dust. I am now determined to tick all the places off. I have put a list together and will tick them off as I go along. Here goes. Visit The British Museum The View from The Shard Watch Matilda The Musical Watch the […]

Dinner at The Ned

12 Jun 2019 by petrinachristine

The Ned is a Hotel in the City of London and a short walk from Bank Station. They have nine restaurants, a rooftop pool, a gym, spa and hammam. Gareth Malone was putting a flash mob together for the reopening of The Ned with different choirs around London and my choir (Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Choir) was included. I’ve never participated in a flash mob before so was excited but didn’t know what to expect. The flashmob was a success […]

Cocktails at Tonight Josephine’s

8 Jun 2019 by petrinachristine

Sweeda and I decided to go for cocktails at Tonight Josephine’s in Waterloo. The cocktail bar is based on Waterloo Road across the road from Waterloo Station. It’s best to reserve a table to avoid disappointment as it’s another Instagram favourite. From the moment you step inside, you see a variety of pretty girly decor with neon lights and a hidden floral ceiling corridor. The bar was smaller than I imagined. The tables and chairs are quite high up so […]

Dinner at The Ivy Chelsea Garden

5 Jun 2019 by petrinachristine

It was time for Hazel and I’s monthly catch up and she suggested The Ivy Chelsea Garden. I’ve never dined in Chelsea and have not explored the area before so thought why not. The Ivy Chelsea Garden is on King’s Road and only a short walk from Sloane Square tube station. As soon as we exited Sloane Square tube station we saw rows of designer shops from Boss to Rigby & Peller. Some shops were decorated with beautiful flowers for the […]

My Trip to London Zoo

25 May 2019 by petrinachristine

What other way could I spend Easter Monday then at London Zoo? It was my first time visiting the zoo which is bad due to the fact I have lived in London all my life. I was so excited to be ticking off another item off my Bucket List (see blog post here). My friend Julianah and her daughter Kiki were coming down from Milton Keynes and invited me to come along to the zoo. The weather was beautiful, the […]

Waitress The Musical and Ping Pong Restaurant

22 May 2019 by petrinachristine

Hazel found some cheap tickets online for Waitress The Musical and we couldn’t turn them done. I love going to the theatre and watching a good show. The musical was showing at the Adelphi Theatre on the Strand just a small walk from London Charing Cross Train Station. I heard good reviews and it was a show I wanted to see. We decided to make an evening of it so Hazel booked Ping Pong Restaurant for Dim Sum. The restaurant […]

Kalbi Korean BBQ Restaurant

18 May 2019 by petrinachristine

Kalbi is a Korean BBQ Restaurant in Clerkenwell and a 5 minute walk from Farringdon Station. Sweeda mentioned it while we in Copenhagen and suggested I make a visit and that time has come today. When we arrived the restaurant was packed but this started to ease down during the evening. Sweeda made a reservation so our table was ready. The venue was nothing to shout about with basic decor. You can order from the main menu which includes sushi and bento […]
