Bring on the long weekend!
Who doesn’t love a long weekend?! Knowing that there’ll be no panic of failed weekend productivity on Sunday evening means you can lay back and really enjoy the sunshine that little bit more. No Monday-istis for me! Yesterday I took the opportunity to wander around north Camden and pretty Primrose Hill in London because, shamefully, I hadn’t ever really done it. (Well, apart from this outfit post shot round the corner.)
///
You know the deal, you work or live somewhere but you never make time to actually see its beauty, leaving all the fun to the tourists instead. Well, I’m making a little pact with myself to actively go and see more of my beautiful new home. Primrose Hill is ticked off (with lunch at the blissful Cow Shed spa) and I’ve now seen about 1/8th of Regents canal – I’m making progress everyone!
Next time I’d love to take a boat down the canal and experience London from the water. In the diary is the reopening of Camden Lock Live nights and next up on the blog will be a bumper post with my tips on how to maximise your mornings with a couple of London tips. See you there!

![Just stopping for a breather 😅🌺 How’s everyone finding their daily exercise allowance situation? I made the most of it yesterday with a 90-minute bike ride and today I’ll go recce Chiswick. If you’re only allowed out once, you’ve gotta make the most of it! Those hire-bikes are so damn heavy and with no gears, I may as well have been out for 3 hours. 🚲😓 In a strange way, I’m almost thankful for this whole sitch. It’s pushed me to actively go outside and switch off. Just me and a bike or me and my legs (and a 📷 of course, and sometimes the BF) to clear my head. 🙃 I’ve seen more of my local area than I would have otherwise, and discovered so many beautiful camellia bushes. 🌺🌺 I’ve added mental notes of what my future homes will look like (serious house goals around here). 🏡🏠🏡 And once everything does reopen, I’ll know all the best spots to head to (pubs, here I come 🍻).

I really love your photos. Keep it up, I enjoy reading a fellow North Londoner 🙂

I do the same thing on Sundays on my Island Curacao! 😀 It’s fun to stand still and enjoy the beauty of your own home that you usually don’t pay attention to, because of school or work.
So it’s so nice to here that you’re also doing it.
