My London Bucket List

I am so fortunate that I am able to go down to London quite regularly, but I always stick to the same thing each, and every time I visit. My standard visit is now a fail safe, arrive at Liverpool Street, head to Topshop Oxford Circus, watch a matinee, grab dinner (Bills, Pret or Leon) go home. Which is great but not really getting a true reflection of this multifaceted, exciting, bustling city.

I should begin with the places I have featured in the image at the top.
Columbia Road Flower Market, such an iconic place and somewhere you picture when you think of London.
The Barbican Conservatory, I believe this is open once a month, and just looks like a really relaxing place with lots of plants (that as a 20 something millennial I am rather into).
Sketch, this restaurant especially the pink room pictured above and the toilets have reached a rather cult status. I am a fan of afternoon tea, not something I regularly indulge myself in, and boujee surroundings.
Finally pictured is the Sky Garden at the top of the Walkie Talkie building. What a view that place must have and the surroundings inside make my heart sing.

Other places I would like to tick off:
The Natural History Museum
Kew Gardens
The Shard (I am obsessed with this building for some reason!)
The V&A
Tonight Josephine
A Psycle class (this does partially scare me)
The London Eye at Night
A Cat Cafe
Peggy Porschen (again instagram goals, and coincidentally Peggy was my Nan's nickname)

I also want to finally track down Fenty Beauty and see it with my own eyeballs, get a Maria Tash piercing (maybe a 25th birthday treat to myself?!) and finally start trying all the independent coffee shops London has to offer.

Finally being the stagey that I am, I would like to see these 3 shows.
Come From Away - I have heard so many good things!!
Everybody is Talking About Jamie
Dear Evan Hansen - opening towards the end of this year.

That is how my bucket list is shaping up at the moment. London based friends I hope you are ready for a KP visit.

Holkham to Wells

Hello. England has such a bad rep, when it comes to weather, but on Good Friday it pulled out all the stops. So my Mum and I drove up to the Norfolk Coast, through acres of beautiful countryside and quaint villages. We parked at the Holkham Nature Reserve before we head on the Coastal Path over to Wells-next-the-sea. A really pretty seaside town which was absolutely bustling with young couples, dog walkers and families.

Starting our walk through the pine woods, we quickly realised spring was springing and our thick winter coats had to be removed to be avoided over heating - yes I had dressed like I was going on an Artic Expedition.

Leading from the beach to the town is a path so long and straight we wondered stopping to take pictures of scenery blue skies and of myself! 

Our destination for lunch was 'Bang in Wells' because my mum thought it looked like my type of place. Set a little further into the town, it was quieter than the sea front places where there was possibly a 30 minute plus queue to get served. We found a seat straight away. After many minutes of contemplation at the all day breakfast menu, we both settled on pancakes, berries for mother and my favourite bacon and maple syrup for myself.

Packed to the brim with pancakes the only thing to do on this gloriously sunny day was to get ice cream. I went for a classic one scoop of strawberry and chocolate. We headed down to a sunny spot on the pier, despite the smell of fish in the air, the ice cream was truly scrumptious.

Once we had indulged in all those calories we headed back to Holkham this time via the beach and the adorable beach huts, still the sun was shining and not a cloud in sight. If you find yourself in Norfolk I highly recommend you head up to the North Norfolk coast on a nice day.

Thanks for popping by!

Where to Eat in Norwich #1

Hello! Now that I am back living in this fine city, I thought I should share my favourite places to go and eat. I have chosen Four places which are a nice contrast. However there are new places popping up all the time, so who knows there maybe more parts to this post.

Bill's (Back of the Inns)

I am a massive fan of Bill's, I actually have a problem. It is good for any occasion Breakfast with a friend or an evening out in a large group. There is always something on the menu people will like, guaranteed. One of my favourite things from there is the Pink Lemonade Ice Cream Float. Yum.

The Waffle House (St Giles Street)

As far as I'm aware this is one of only two in the country. My favourite thing from here is the Ham, Cheese Sauce and Mushrooms Waffle, oh my. I actually haven't been here for quite a long time, so I must fix that urgently. The food is always super tasty.

Pandora's Kitchen (London Street)

Rocky Road Hot Chocolate

This is possibly hands down my favourite cafe/coffee shop in Norwich. I love going in for a slice of cake and drink(normally tea). If you are lucky they will have an Oreo Chocolate cake in the window waiting for you. They also do great lunches and breakfasts.

Grosvenor Fish Bar (Lower Goat Lane)

Here in the UK we are famed for our Fish and Chips, if you want really good fish and chips and a really cool vibe this is the place to go.

Thanks for popping by!
