Wishful Wednesday

On a dreary May Wednesday while I'm stuck in an unexplained funk, I go to my happy place.  The place I live when I day dream about the future.   It's perfect in almost every way. I love London and it will always have my heart.

Eating My Way Around London

Image
I’ve never been a huge fan of tours.  I like exploring things on my own and happening upon new sites and restaurants.  Or I do what every other crafty person does; I search Pinterest for fun things in whatever city I’m traveling to, and then note them in my phone so I can find them (or get lost trying to find them) when I arrive.  However, in 2015 when I went to England and Belgium, my travel partner in crime booked 2 tours for us.  The first was a Secret Garden Tour of the Cotswolds and the second was a Chocolate tour of Brussels.  Well, to say that these tours were awesome would be a huge understatement. They were phenomenal, and I had so much fun – and I ate so much food – and they totally converted me to being a tour person. When left to my own devices, I chose Pancetta Ciabatta - Yum! That’s why, when this year’s England trip rolled around, I actually mentioned a food tour of London as being something I’d like to do.  Of course, the travel par...

Starstruck

Who's awkward?  This girl right here... When I was little, I was called shy.  When I got a little older, I was an introvert.  Now I'd say I lean more to the socially awkward end of the spectrum.  Friends and family tell me this isn't true, but they don't live inside my head and hear the non-stop chatter of hypothetical situations.  Honestly, it's getting a bit loud in here.  I'm perfectly fine with polite conversation. How are you?  How's the weather?  I'm even better if I know one small fact about you.  Oh, you just got back from Jamaica? Tell me all about it.  Oh, you have an affinity for small hairless cats?  Well, I'd love to hear all about that.  (Honestly, I really don't care about the cats so much, but it's something to hold on to.) However, if I were to be dropped next to you at a wedding and you and I have never met before, you would now be responsible for the remainder of the evening's conversation becaus...

Book Worm Wednesday: Bookshops To Love

Image
One of my very favorite things to do when I travel is find an independent book shop. Some cities have loads, while others may not have any. When I do find a treasure, I'm always ridiculously happy. Instead of just giving these shops my money, I thought I'd give them a bit of good press while I was at it. First up is: The Book Tavern 936 Broad Street, Suite 101  Augusta GA, 30901 About The Book Tavern The Book Tavern is a new and used book shop on the main shopping street in Augusta GA, Broad Street. While there isn't much shopping to be had here, this shop seems to be thriving.  What I Loved Their inventory is insane! Every shelf is positively overflowing with books. Even the tiny second floor (don't you just love an extra floor?!) contained a ridiculous number of treasures. This is where I found the Theatre and Arts section; usually about 2 shelves in most shops. Here there are about 10 shelves with everything from Biographies to Shakespeare's plays....
