Every month, I write about all the « little joys » (as per the name of the blog in French) and various discoveries in London and elsewhere. A sort of moodboard to keep a track of all the positive things that happened and start the new month on a fresh note.
Transition time, heatwave & London strolls

An other start of the summer I won’t forget. The London life always seems to bring somme of its biggest challenges at this time of the year but the good thing is, it’s also the start of the summer, and for the first time in June, the arrival of the London heatwave, the yearly 2 days when temperatures rise and reach something like 35 DEGREES. Too hot to function in London.
This year for the first time, I joined the British side and started to complain about the heat myself. Yes, something to add to the list of things that have changed in my life since I moved ton London…

A great way to rediscover London and become an urban cyclist as most of “cool Londoners” seem to be.
The perfect ride took place in Richmond, naturally – and was amazing indeed – and was quickly followed by lots of other ones mainly in South West London where I feel like there is more space and less cars. Less scary basically.
It’s incredible how cycling in London makes you feel so free in this big city! The experience has been full of good (and bad) surprises so far, including that incredible sunset by Putney Bridge. Always a matter of being at the right place at the right time.
To be continued…

[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]As summer has now officially come to London, June was a great month to make the most of the sunny days and try more new good places to eat and drink in London. Lovely coffee break at “Free Range People“, the perfect and super healthy little cafe by Neal’s Yard, lunch with a perfect view on the canal at Cafe Laville, summer drinks at Pop Brixton, coolest place of South London, or a few bubbles at Sky Garden, the kind of place that always reminds me why I love London and London life so much.
