Sunny Days! :)



London was graced with some wonderfully warm and sunny days for a while.
Its back to a bit colder weather now but it was just amazing while it lasted. It showed for a while that one Sunday was going to be extra nice and warm..so warm that I didn't believe it at first. But when the day came it was even warmer than it showed. The highest it got was 20 degrees and off to a picnic in at Hollant park I was. It felt just so nice to feel the spring sun..it felt like I was on a holiday!




The week after that was pretty warm as well..with some little colder days but still mostly sunny and just so nice. When ever I had a chance I spent my time outside. 

One day I went to the Borough Market again to get some yummy stuff. After getting my things from the market I thought I would just walk down to the river and then go back home..but oh well..ended up walking around for like an hour. Or even longer probably. I love London so much for the fact that there are just so many places to discover.


A few days after a took another walk again! :D This time I was walking around for three hours almost. London can be pretty windy but on that day there was literally zero wind! During those nice days I was like a little kid who didn't want to go back inside :)
Limehouse is one of my new favorite neighborhoods in London now!
It was such a nice walk because most of it was along the river
At some point the walking around got a bit boring so I met up with a friend at the Real Food Market. Got some great food and went on to have another little picnic. We found a little place to sit down at the Jubilee Gardens and enjoyed our delicious food.
I'm a total kid when it comes to cotton candy..I just have to have it when I see it.
And the week was topped off with another warm Sunday. I decided to just relax and enjoy it on my balcony. It was the first time it was so warm there that I was able to wear shorts until the sunset. It was so weird how warm it was considering that the next day it was back to about 13degrees and it felt like the summer was over..but I know its not too long now until the nice warm weather is back again! :)



I just realized that pretty much my whole post was about weather!! :D Oh wellll...I guess it really did feel special then to have such nice weather so early and I really enjoyed it! :)

Little perfect breakfast

On the morning of the Estonian Independence day it was so nice outside. I think it was the first day that it was about 14 degrees outside. The sun was shining and it wasn't windy at all so I decided to have a nice breakfast on my balcony. It was the first time I was able to do that and I really couldn't wait for it to get warm enough outside to do that. I think it will go back to being a little colder again but I'm sure I will have plenty of time to have some nice relaxing meals there..enjoying the sun and the view :)


It was definitely a great way to start my day..and my week! :)

Little stroll through Borough Market

On one sunny Friday when I had a day off from everything I went to Borough Market. I've always loved markets and could spend hours browsing around. It might be because I looove food and cooking so everything food related gets me excited :) Whenever I travel I also try to visit local markets if possible. There is just something about the atmosphere at the markets that feels goood :)
I think I did three rounds at the Borough Market. First was just to walk around and discover the place..because I haven't been there before. Second was to take pictures and on my third round I bought some delicious stuff for myself as well.
One great thing about Borough Market is that all the sellers there were so friendly and whenever you stop to look at something they are eager to offer you things to try. Its so good because you can actually taste things you are about to buy and it makes the decision what to get so much easier. And you need it..there are just so many amazing things to choose from. I'm so glad that the market is only few tube stops away from me. I can't wait to go back again!! :)





How about some zebra burgers!? I don't think I could ever eat it!!

There was actually a lot of street food offered but I didn't get any. It was nice out and everything but it was a bit cold still. Can't wait for it to get nicer outside to go and try some of the things they had.

Got some fresh goodies for myself too :)
Truffle Salami and coat's cheese which was cover with some pieces that were soaked in red wine. Both were delicious!!!

Borough Market is definitely a must go place when visiting London..and also when you live here. Great place to get fresh and good food from! :)
