A beautiful walk through the lanes of Devon - complete with a house that reminds me of the one in The Snowman…you can probably tell which one 😊 Dad and I then bought a couple of pasties and found a bench in the village. Just one of those perfect days etched in my memory.

You trust me (I think….) with my retro videos, so if you’re in London, trust me with this restaurant.
Unreal flavours, incredible atmosphere, brilliant team. Non fussy but refined.,
OMA - Borough Market.
I’ve not had food as good as this in a long time.

A fireworks party taking place somewhere over Hoxton. My camera didn’t capture it well, but it was pretty spectacular from the skylight.
It’s so trippy being here - lots of memories of our shoebox terrace in Farnham back in 2017.
But no 6:30am commute on the zombie train tmrw, just a holiday 🙂

Three minutes of UK Kids TV intro memories from the 70s and 80s for you.
Obviously not every show, so I might have missed your favourites, but maybe some of this will bring back memories and have you humming a few tunes this evening.
I hope you enjoy it 🙂
