A corner of London

Hello lovelies, how is your week going? I was up in London yesterday on a course so took the opportunity to take a friend to one of my favourite corners of the capital:

Walking into Neal's Yard feels like stepping into another world, away from the hustle and bustle of touristy Convent Garden - a historic and funky courtyard with a hippy edge, full of natural health shops and vegetarian restaurants including my personal favourite, The World Food Cafe. See the open windows in this picture? That's the cafe - I urge anyone who loves world food to stop by!

The cafe is run by husband and wife team Chris and Carolyn Caldicott and not only feeds (sorry for the pun!) my love of world food but also my love of travel photography. Chris Caldicott is a travel writer and photographer whose stunning images adorn both the walls of the cafe and the pages of their beautiful cookery book - it makes me want to pack my suitcase every time I look at it!

So it's time for a new challenge over on A Passion for Papertrey and this time round we're focusing on borders - check out the post here for more info.

I went a little scallop crazy for my sample, and yes I forced myself to use purple  - but only because it was made for someone who loves it!

Recipe:

Stamps: Birthday Bash Sentiments/Make a Wish

Ink: Plum Pudding/Memento Tuxedo Black

Card: Stampers Select White

Paper: Bitty Dot Basics (plum pudding & black)

Other: Medium Scalloped Die/black Copic Sketch Marker

Right I have some tennis to watch now! Have a good rest of the week!
Hugs,
