Joseph Joseph Index Advance Cutting Board

Back in June my wonderful colleagues gave me a set of John Lewis vouchers as a wedding gift. I was waiting to use them to buy something for the new flat and finally, last Saturday I was able to start using them. And one of the things I bought is this super cool "index" cutting board, which had been on my wish list for quite a while.

P.S. I can hear you Gareth, but you know, we all get excited about different things :)

My New Commute

Now that we are settled (well, kinda!) at the new place, I am experimenting with my new commute options. Until now I have been walking to the office, which is great, and it normally took me about 45 minutes. It's a bit long but doable and also that was my daily dose of excercise since I don't do anything else!

From Shad Thames to my office I now have the following options:

1. Walk: it takes me 50 minutes. I did it yesterday and this morning and loved it.

{me this morning, walking and wearing my funky Lanvin sneakers}

2. Tube: Tower Hill - Temple. I tried it last Friday and it took me 30 minutes door to door. Not bad.

3. Boat, Thames Clippers. I haven't tried this yet but I reckon it would take me about 30 minutes. Wouldn't it be super cool to commute by boat!?!

4. Bike. There is a Boris Johnson's bike docking station right outside our new building and one right outside the office. Perfect! I have never cycled in London before but, what do you think, 30 minutes should be enough, right?

In any case, it's nice to have options and whatever I decide to do, these are just some of the lovely things I will be admiring on my way to, and from work:

Honeymoon Shopping

I went to Anthropologie on Regent Street at my lunch break looking for curtains. However, something else attracted my attention...These days I am focussed on the house move but next week it will be all about honeymoon shopping. This playsuit is gorgeous!

Winter Comfort

It's only a matter of weeks before winter arrives and I am already thinking of all the comfy clothes that I will be wearing around the new house. These ruby bow slippers have just entered my wish list.
