London Love

We really enjoy spending our free time exploring cities around the world, discovering the culture, food and history of the places that we visit, taking photographs and and making memories. Yet, so often we forget just how much is on our door stop (ish..). I have been to London many times for various reasons, but it is SO long since I went as a fully fledged, landmark visiting, snap happy tourist in my own capital. So, during the February half term, we did exactly that!

Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, the Changing of the Guard, Churchill's War Rooms, shopping on Oxford Steet, a show on the West End, Champagne at The Shard- we did it all! And coming across the cutest little cupcake shop in Covent Garden that sold delicious hot chocolate and pretty cupcakes made a very welcome afternoon treat. 

Next stop: LAS VEGAS ♥

So tonight I finally began the tedious job of uploading some of my traveling photos. A few [five] months late maybe, but better late than never right?

Looking back definitely bought back all the memories. It some ways it seems a life time ago, yet on the other hand I cant believe five months have passed since we were there exploring, lives packed into our bags without a care in the world but where we were going next and what amazing food we were going to try. And so much has changed since then, it's a little crazy.

I miss the freedom. The independence. The fun and adventure. The food. The excitement of new things. The sunshine..
Someone take me back?

New toy.. Photoshop!

I've been wanting it for ages. Since my old laptop died and I lost Photoshop along with it in fact.

So today I've started to have a play around with it and attempted to give some of my summer snaps a vintage effect..

What 'dya' think?? Any tips or suggestions??
