Here are some snaps of my recent trip to Rye, very short and indeed cold visit to this little town in East Sussex. I love the English countryside, and discovering all these little towns and villages, they are very pretty and still maintain much of the character of the period when they were created. Rye is famous for its antiques shops, Tudor architecture and Nature reserve. I enjoyed the short visit, but I wish the weather would have been warmer and sunnier and that we had a few more days to explore the area. I liked getting lost in the narrow streets, admiring the old houses and little shops.

The highlight was the very windy and chilly walk in Rye harbour, and see this little pink and black shed in the middle of nowhere.

I am planning my next escape to the countryside…A good piece of advice, research well the trains, it took us a good 3 hours to get there from London, best way is to jump on the fast train from St Pancras, or travel from Victoria Station, oh, and don't forget your scarf, hat, gloves and rain coat, you can never predict the English weather…

Hello happy Monday to all, it is being a very sunny and glorious weekend in London, September is my favorite month of the year and the best weather in this city.  I am glad my life is back to normality, I have had a very stressful week, haven't slept in 5 days and have lost a few kilos, (that I like haha). I have been trying to make a risky decision to grow the business, done numbers, worry about risks, money, debts, etc...I have learnt so much in just one week, about business, myself, and how much support I have from my friends and mother. It is a difficult time to expand and spend money on risky projects, but I am an entrepreneur and as such have a vision. You learn to live with uncertainty and not knowing how much money you would make each month, still if you offer me a full time job I would say NO and continue to do what I do. Enough of my business life...

Now and again I manage to get out London and get to explore different areas of England. Hastings is easy to reach from London and has plenty of things to see and do. Love the old town, filled with interesting shops and buildings, can't say the same about the new area, not worth to venture in and same as any other hight streets across the country. Here are some snaps of my latest trip to this beach town, I had a great day out, it was sunny and warm, had fish and chips, ice cream, sweets, and managed to get some new pieces from the so many antiques shops in the area. Do you go to Hastings?

GORGEOUS HOUSES

A rural retreat

Last week, I was excited to have a few days break from the city and escape to the country. There's nothing quite like the countryside in summertime. Complete with flowers in full bloom, my mum's fresh baking and the arrival of my beautiful nephew, it was nothing short of perfection. 

First I attended my cousin's wedding in Henley. A beautiful rural, country affair, complete with an Alice in wonderland themed croquet lawn, vintage tea cups and giant playing cards....

I'm sure there's something about living away from home that makes you appreciate it more. The view from my parent's house in the Cotswold's is gorgeous, and I loved finding the array of little treasures creeping out of the woodwork.
