Our holiday is here, we running through the house, packing, organizing and being excited.
And we are off to sunny Croatia for one week! No internet, no phone, just us, the sun and the sea-

2. Seeing the ocean
3. Getting up and going for a swim first thing in the morning
4. Picking up Croatian words
5. Fresh ripe Lemon from the tree turned into a home made lemonade
6. Being outdoors all day long
7. Wearing my new swimsuit and Swedish clogs
8. Picking herbs in the garden
9. Meditating by the beach
10. Tons of cuddle time
11. A tan
12. Paying in Kuna the local currency
13. Plenty of BBQ's
14. Going for a night swim....

OK, I could keep continuing but we gotta go now! 

We will be back soon and will tell you all about it.
Until then I hope you are having a great time!

Summer rolls + Summer Salads & some summer running

/





We are counting the days to our Croatia holiday ( 6 more to go!)
The preparations have started with eating light and fresh food, going for regular runs,
ordering swimsuits and straw hats and just being overall excited.
I am quite addicted to amazing summer salads right now and keep trying mixing new dressings and things.
Friday was very special since I met my friends beautiful little baby girl Amelie for the first time.
Oh these big eyes... It was a very nice afternoon, of catching up with her mum Josie over coffee & cake.
This summer in London has been pretty rubbish so far and I am so looking forward to getting some sun.
Tonight Dave surprised me with a Asian dinner, including delicious veggie dumplings and summer rolls. We haven't made them in so long.
Summer rolls feel like a special dish because we made them on our first date, and also on the day we moved in together and started this little blog.
And I am just as excited to wake up next to this man every day- moving in together feels like yesterday and yet we have already done so much together.


London life - bits and pieces

This is a collage of bits and pieces we have been up to lately. The weather is all over the place right now. One day feels like winter the next like summer, it's a surprise from day to day.
It's reflected in the pictures as well, as you might have noticed (they don't really work together)
This week went in light speed. I can't believe it's Sunday night already!?
Here are the highlights of the week:
Learning how to roll sushi at our friends birthday party, eating all the amazing sushi too, making up a beautiful bride,  looking at Sydney real estate apps and dreaming about nice houses, ordering a new yellow swimsuit for the holiday, enjoying every sun ray that makes it over to us, starting the holiday countdown.
What have you been up to?

A week of Summer

/


































A week of BBQ's, swimming in the London Fields Lido , going for runs on warm summer nights, picnics with Vietnamese take-away in the park, laying in the sun, spending each and every lunch break outside, getting a little bit of a tan...
One week full of happiness and wearing dresses and Sandals.
One week of eating Ice Cream, Frozen Yoghurts and Salads.
Of dancing bare-feet around the house. One week of not taking enough pictures to capture all the amazingness.
Dear Sun, please come back out to play very very soon!
