Feast food festival in Tobacco Dock

Elena Shamis August 3, 2014

Today I went to Feast food festival in Tobacco dock (www.wefeast.co.uk).

I spent the whole evening uploading pictures and hope you get inspired to go on Sunday as it's the last day of the festival :-)

There are afternoon and evening sessions (I went to the evening one). Tickets are cheaper if booked in advance through Yplan app or at the event website (use code "Londonist" to get two for one).

Though the entrance is not free food is reasonably priced and the atmosphere is great. Food vendors include restaurants as well as street food stalls offering a selection of food for any mood or taste!

I really liked that all the people were friendly and happy to pose!

Small pieces to try and they taste really good!

The brownies are really amazing and very fresh!

A day trip to Birling Gap and Seven Sisters

Elena Shamis June 25, 2014

Seven Sisters are a series of chalk cliffs along the cost in East Sussex. The combination of white cliffs, green grass, blue sea and the sky make the views especially spectacular!

From the car park we've took the stairs that lead down to the beach.

There were a lot of starfish on the coast brought by the sea...

After exploring the beach we took a walk along the hills. It's a bit of an exercise but it's worth it! A large number of hares live on the cliffs, they are afraid of people and it's difficult to come close to them (being the reason they are not pictured).

Back to Beachy head where wind is always blowing in one direction and makes the trees look really special!

It was my first visit to Seven Sisters and Birling Gap and I have to say that I've really enjoyed it! We were a bit short on time and didn't see everything so I'd like to explore more next time. Hope the pictures helped to convince you that you have to go there :-)

We've only walked in the direction of Seven Sisters. It's also possible to go in the other direction and see the Belle Tout Lighthouse (not pictured here).

Brazil day at Trafalgar Square

The World Cup has started yesterday and I was lucky to be on Trafalgar Square to witness Brazil day celebration. Didn't know so many Brazilians live in London :-) And the weather was almost like in Brazil :-)

Sunday brunch in The Riding House Cafe

Elena Shamis May 28, 2014

I like discovering new cafes and restaurants and since sometimes I happen to have a camera with me I've decided to start writing about the nice places I've visited.

The idea is very simple - I won't write too much, will just share the food that we had and a few interior pictures. Hope you'll find it useful :-)

The first one is The Riding House Cafe www.ridinghousecafe.co.uk where we went for Sunday brunch.
