I arrived in China late yesterday afternoon where I was met by my husband after an 11 hour flight from Heathrow. I have to say, I was not too tired as I managed to get around 7 hours of sleep…on and off. It’s a different story today though as my head is buzzing and my eyes are closing but I MUST not give in as it’s only 1.05pm!! (Must stay awake… must stay awake)😴

I will post more stories on China once I get some photos taken but this was the view I woke up to this morning. (Dongguan at 6.35am)

Now, back to London. I had the chance to meet with Selma for brunch the day before I left and that lady is as beautiful as her blog, if not more! She took me to Brew in Wimbledon Village and had theee most delicious eggs!    Mine was perfectly poached eggs on hung yoghurt with chilli butter!   …just look at that yolk!

Selma and I talked and laughed over brunch and being around her just made me feel so positive about so many things! Amazing woman! Also confessed that she’s one of my blog idols! Haha! 

I also managed to catch up with my baby sister while I was there and spent a lovely time staying with my cousin. 

Off to Hong Kong tomorrow for the weekend, so I will be taking more photos there too! 

Before I have a wee lie down to “rest my eyes”, here are a few iconic shots of London I took before I left. Hope you’ll like them!  

  
  

   

Happy Thursday to all!💛

Hello all! Well I left Bilbao over a week ago and been here in London spending my days with my sister or my cousin and her family before I head off to China to embark on my new life there. I have lost all sense of routine but managed to cook a couple of simple dishes while I’m here. 

Last night I made my  Crispy Chicken along with my Colourful Coleslaw (sans the walnuts) for the family and it went down a treat! 

  
With all that has been going on, I have been exhausted but I am super excited to finally meet up with a fellow blogger friend Selma on Monday for brunch! If you don’t already know Selma, you have to check out her blog! AMAIIIIIZING!!! 

Anyway, before I fly off to China on Tuesday night, here are a couple of black and white snapshots of London that I took.

  
  
Have a fabulous weekend and will be “seeing” you again when I am in China!
