The Roast-ess with the Most-ess

London's had a change of heart. 

It seems like the capital has had enough of putting us through rain Ladden hair, long john's and colloquial Cloaks! This weekend we saw something out of the ordinary- the sun had put it's new season AW15 Hat on- and we were most certainly singing hip-hip-hooray! 


Shades and Selfies are ofcourse mandatory on a Sunny Sunday in London! 

In the fear that we wouldn't get a north of 10 degree day for another few months, I threw my new Hunters on...


and ventured out into the English Sticks in search of some Fresh Countryside Air (and a Roast but more about that later) 



When the sun is shining in Great Britain, there really is nothing like it..


Weaving through green grass and a little more than gusty wind



And then we got hungry. 


We came across a row of derelict houses and decided to explore further- low and behold... We Found A Pub! 

Grins the size of Russia across our faces & dreaming all things gravy and stuffing we nestled into our seats and demanded the first thing we saw on the menu "A roast please!" 

And just like magic...


A helm of Roast Chicken, Roast Potatoes, Yorkshire Pudding, Pigs in a Blanket, Roasted Carrots & Parsnips laced in oodles of Bread Sauce


Drool. 

Exasperated and gasping for air without a thought of eating a morsel more...

It was Dessert Time!


A trio of desserts. 

Treacle Tart, Creme Brule, Salted Caramel Mousse and an Ice Cream Cookie Sandwich!


It definitely Treacle'd us nicely for a Sunny Sunday in London!

How did you spend your Lazy Sunday?

My Last Week in Instagrams

As I'm sure you already know- when the sun is out in London it's a cardinal sin to sit in doors. 

All of a sudden you're reaching for your phone, making plans and living on the edge [otherwise known as leaving your house without a jacket]. Unfortunately, in my case, my over enthusiastic sunshine messaging put me in the awkward positioning of triple-booking on a multitude of days which has made for one very busy lady! 


This week I watched Beyonce rock The O2 Arena with a friend


while enjoying a glass of Sir Perrier. 


Beyonce was absolutely incredible and make the experience even more incredible- Jay-Z joined her on stage!



 N'aww.

I threw on my staple sunshine colour- White


and took a stroll through Regents Park- one of my favourite places ever. 


and watched the sun disappear into the darkness at The Boundary [blogged about here]


I got dolled up to attend a show at The Barbican Centre, London- had a heat hair dilemma 


which was quickly resolved with a mad hair shake and a dash out of the door in this Baby from the Topshop Kate Moss Collection.


Ravishing from an overly active day and night, I made a pitstop at Duck & Waffle  


and destroyed one of my favourite cuban desserts- Torrejas 


Too good To-rrejas. [resist for my slower friends.]

I took a long countryside drive


to view a spanish-inspired property with the most incredible views of London.


Having burnt off an adequate amount of calories galavanting around in the sun, I took a trip to the incredible Levant to celebrate a friends birthday and indulged in one of the tastiest mixed grills I've ever tasted.


Followed by a tower of desserts ranging from rose glazed grapes and buttery baklava 


Inspired by the range of delicious flavours and foods that I'd tasted, I cooked up a storm in the kitchen for my family 


And ended the week on a high note 


A high note topped with ice cream that is- did I forget to mention that? 

See upping the degrees, ups the productivity! How was your week in the sunshine?
