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!

![It’s my birthday this weekend and I’m considering walking out of April and segueing straight into May. My head is SPINNING with all the reservations, logistics, researching best restaurants, have I sent reminders?, ‘shit I need to buy cheese’, ‘they don’t know them so I can’t invite them to that’, ‘will they want to come rock climbing?’, ‘we’ll have 1hr before happy hour closes’. 🤦🏻♀️😬🤯🥵 Why do I insist on organising four different birthday activities?! Next year, someone else can plan it all 😅 Am I the only one?! 🥳 [#newcastlensw#newy#visitnsw#summerstyle#stscolourblocking#discoverunder20k#howtostyle]](http://scontent-frx5-1.cdninstagram.com/vp/f1e905524849b06982b3152fdd566958/5D3D3905/t51.2885-15/sh0.08/e35/c0.135.1080.1080a/s640x640/56958829_315680412661015_8650260181731526929_n.jpg?_nc_ht=scontent-frx5-1.cdninstagram.com "It’s my birthday this weekend and I’m considering walking out of April and segueing straight into May.

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

Red Velvet London
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.
