Last week I attended the Bridgerton Secret Cinema Ball here in London. It was a long awaited event, as the tickets I originally purchased were for October 2021. Thanks to Coronavirus and it’s Omicron friend, the event had been delayed. I had originally purchased the tickets in summer 2021, so it had been a long time coming!
This was not my first Secret Cinema event. I discovered it a few ye...

While January is well and truly on the march, I still had a need for some Christmas events over the weekend. In December, I had planned several holiday events for my husband and I to enjoy during our time off together. Sadly, with the uncertainty of Omicron lurking in the wind, we decided to stay home and be safe. That meant canceling quite a few things I had planned. I was devastated, but it is b...

Happy New Year to you! I hope you are approaching 2022 with cautious ambition and a dash of optimism. While that sentence didn’t seem to sound gloomy, it certainly reads that way! London has been rather warm for January and a few bright days of sunshine, so I am hoping that this will set the tone for the year. For the moment, my calendar has a few tours scheduled with space for more to come....

When the pandemic was at a peak and lockdown seemed to persist with no end in sight, I said to my husband “The minute we are able to travel, we are getting on a Eurostar and going to Paris!” For a couple who loves to travel and does it four times a year, not going somewhere or having a vacation to look forward to was very depressing. I understand that this is a massive privilege a...

The British are known for drinking tea. While the team might come from China or India, and there are many countries that are known for tea rituals like Japan, the British are famous for drinking it for most of the day. When I first moved to London, I did not drink tea. Today, I am a proper London tour guide who has tea daily, much to the chagrin of my dental hygienist. Some days, I properl...

It’s been a while since I wrote a blog post, and the time really did fly by! I didn’t mean to take a hiatus, but I seemed to skip one Monday, and then boom — a month went by! Perhaps this is because I have actually been going out and about in London for various reasons, which is a welcome change to being stuck at home.
Lockdowns are lifted, kids are out of school for the s...

“Are you Team William &Kate or Team Harry & Meghan, or both?” This is a question I have recently been asking my tour clients. Taking advantage of being able to guide outdoors, I have recently launched a tour that walks through Hyde Park and the Kensington area. When we arrive at the outside of Kensington Palace, this question always comes up. It is important for me to know whic...

As I write this, I feel like there is a calming lull in London. The weather is 97% chance of rain with the sun attempting to peak through the morning clouds. There is a cool breeze blowing, and it is very quiet where I am. This is a stark contrast to what it was like a mere 10 hours ago, when the Euro 2020 competition ended with Italy winning against England, thus dashing dreams at a trophy. ...
