Every month, I gather all the London discoveries and questions about expat life or just life through this sort of mood-board. A nice way to look back, keep the positives and learn from the rest.
Last bits of summer
[/vc_column_text][vc_separator el_width=”70″][vc_column_text] [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Summers in London are THE BEST… When it’s hot and sunny. i.e. Not exactly all the time. So, to make sure I do have some days of proper heat in the summer, I do it the UK way: I go away. Very convenient when you come from a beautiful part of South of France like I do. I got my last bits of summer in August. As always, it was amazing, but it was equally amazing to return to London. Maybe I finally found the France / London balance after all… It was time after 7 years!

So nice and refreshing to escape from London and discover new British Gems.

I used to hate it. Why would I need to give up something to choose something else?! We want it all right?
Obviously things don’t always work out that way and since I have fully understood it and integrated it in my life, it’s a bit like everything is a bit easier. It’s quite a peaceful one to accept that all our actions are ultimately choices we make.

I might always be saying this but August was AMAZING foodwise. London is definitely a food temple and once again it was a pleasure to make the most of it. Arcade London, the new Food Theatre place in Tottenham Court Road, Kwant, the incredible cocktail bar in Mayfair or Crate Brewery for the best summer vibe in East London, drinking beers by the canal. Such good places.
