Jan 27 3 years of the blog and my favourite memories

Start of the new decade got me (like everybody else) quite reflective. Looking back at what’s been experienced, done, achieved and what’s still to come. Overall feeling? Very exciting stuff.

Jan 7 2019 highlights & plans for 2020

The other day my friend asked me about my thoughts on 2019. I’ve never really done it as I’m always more excited for what’s to come than dwell in the past, but when I took a moment to reflect on this year come by, I’ve realised it was a pretty damn good one.

Jul 20 a short story about finding peace (part 1)

This post has been 2 years in the making. Why? Because it's hard, because what will people think, because no-one cares, because what if my family reads it and it will just make them sad, because what if people will be mean and it will just make me sad…

Jun 28 a practical guide to moving to London

LIFE, TRAVEL

It is true that moving to London involves a vicious circle of dependancies and it’s very easy to get lost and frustrated in the process. A very good example: you need a bank account in order to rent a flat but you can’t open a bank account if you don’t have a permanent address in the UK… What the actual f**k?!

Mar 9 why I AM and AM NOT a feminist

So that’s a first: I’ve written a very personal post. There won’t be any travel guide here, no pictures of my cute dog and not even a recipe. Just me, myself and my opinion on something.

Aug 14 and so we got married

I have always been repelled by doing things how they should be done. If you’re following a recipe step by step there is no room left for creativity and excellence that comes with it.

Jun 19 summertime bliss: garden barbecue and family time in Poland

Don't tell me that global warming does not exist when it is now over 30°C in Poland and barely 18°C in France. Last weekend I was wearing a winter sweater here in Paris and let me remind you - we're approaching end of June. Are we?!

Jan 1 here’s to a gourmand new year: homemade fettucine al pomodoro

Because it’s no news that spending quality time with our loved ones is the best we could ever wish for. Add a bit of travel and a table covered with good food and you’ll have at least two happy faces looking at you...

Oct 1 hello fall!

It's really hard to get excited about fall, especially in Paris with its never-ending rain, grey sky, and low temperatures. There's something however, that I'm really looking forward to thinking of this time of the year...

Sep 16 meet Buddy

So it’s been 2 years now since we first officially announced that one day we’ll get a dog. A big one, Bullmastiff most preferably, and we’ll call him Jabba (yes, like the galaxy's most powerful gangster) – we actually decided on this when we first met 5 years ago.

Jul 21 good morning sunshine: Hubert the dog & mini peach cobblers

I don't need to mention once again how special weekend mornings are for us: lazy time spent on just enjoying the time together. And last weekend it was the three of us since Hubert the dog joined us for the few sunny days! This charming little love ball only made us want to get one of our own pretty soon...

Jul 7 june

Not being really planned like this, June stood for getting away from the Parisian hussle and enjoying our time in the wilderness. We spent a wonderful weekend in the French Alps...
