What is better to receive on Monday than photos of handsome men?!

The Perfect Pancake
We were in search of the perfect pancakes so we decided to inspect The Diner in Angel, Islington. I like the atmosphere. It’s busy, but not crowded. The staff are friendly but cool… The filter coffee is just what my doctor ordered. If you come early, and stay long enough, you can start with breakfast,…

Presents!
Drew brought me presents from Helsinki, Finland! Yes, it does seem a little childish to be excited about coloring books, but I can’t think of a better thing to do than color after a Sunday lunch at the pub. (I was never one to be wild.) And don’t they go nicely with these lovelies from…

Nice to Meet You, Harrogate!

I’ll Be There Now In a Minute
My super secret job sent me on a mission to Cardiff, Wales. It was almost like home.

A Sign of Life
We might be getting old, but we have proof that we made it to Wembley Arena for the Foo Fighter’s first gig in two years…

Tongue Tied and Tired
There are days when my own words won’t take shape. On those days I find myself clinging to the words of others… Today it’s Chris Rice’s turn.

Let it speak; listen in earnest. And then let it go.

Hugs and Kisses
Dear parents everywhere, Please tell your kids not to fret over Valentine’s Day – the day of the stiff Jell-o hearts and lollipop exchange cards… Please tell your kids that the best is still coming. If you don’t mind, let them know that you didn’t marry the person you liked in fourth grade. And you…

A Man’s Heart

Between You and Me
I call it like I see it. But that’s easy when things are so clearly black and white.

365
He’s really quite good. And he is mine.

Much Ado
It is pretty inspiring to spend time with people who are so energetic about life, love, and the pursuit of happiness. They aren’t just dreaming it; they are feet first! May it rub off on me…

Songs About Jane
My beautiful friend Jane doesn’t use lots of mushy words, but she does find other ways to say exactly what she means. Thanks Ma’am.

Like Rabbits
Happy New Year, now give me my red envelope!

Yes Please
A few blocks North of the Camden Passage tourist’s check-box hot spot eatery, Angel has hidden a fab new pub in plain sight. The Wenlock and Essex serves a selection of Camden Town’s finest brews, but they don’t stop there. One of your top five favorite frosty beverages is sure to be on offer. And…

Jane’s Balls
It’s really important not to take for granted the ground you stand on.

The Only Thing Constant is Change
I can’t bring myself to write a Resolution that’s unattainable, but I can’t move forward without asking more of myself. And I am also still on pain medication.

A Song For You
Angels walk among us; I know because one of them sent me spoons.

The Sun Will Come Out
Tomorrow. Or the next day. I think.

Going the Distance
Maybe we weren’t adventurous enough to climb the lions… But we did chat with some hipsters from the East side – one fine artist, one fashion designer. I think that was more interesting, really.

Just Do It
What a beautiful day for a bus tour?!
