London (United Kingdom), in a pub.

London - Canary Wharf

We stayed in Canary Wharf with some of Mart's childhood friends from home. It was great to discover a new part of the city we hadn't been in much. And it really felt like we were somewhere completely foreign. The view from our balcony made me feel like we could be in Hong Kong or another big city with an impressive skyline and water around it.

London - drinks & brain activity

1. Cider. Yum.
2. Brain Activity. An exhibition of David Shrigley's art. He's Mart's favourite artist and is pretty hilarious (or not, depending on people). :-)
3. And bubble tea (we chose the milky Japanese green tea one and were so right to do so; it was de-li-cious!).

London - Science Museum and pizza

Another very impressive museum. And a whole meter long pizza!

London - the V&A museum

We spent a few hours exploring the V&A museum on our first day in London. I thought it had an Italian feel to it. Don't you think?
Well the phone booth in the last picture does kind of give the location away, I'll admit that.
:-)

Bright triangles

Hi again everyone!

It's been a little quiet over here lately; sorry... I've kind of been feeling like there are never enough hours in a day (I'm sure you all know exactly what I mean) and so I haven't been at the computer half as much as I usually am.
But it's been good busy though, don't get me wrong! We've been on a lovely long weekend in London last week, and I have lots of photos to show you.

But before I do so, I wanted to send you over to this guest post, which I wrote for Fellow Fellow a little while ago. It was so much fun putting it together; these bright triangles really do put me in a happy mood.

And during the weekend we happened upon a DavidDavid boutique. It was my first encounter with this London-based fashion designer, and I was in complete awe. As you can see, it fits with the theme perfectly!

London (United Kingdom), somewhere walking in the city.

There is still snow on the ground here in Maastricht, but none falling anymore... it's been a very pretty and white week over here!

Heatherwick Studio

When reading the paper today I saw a picture of the breathtakingly beautiful United Kingdom Pavilion at the Shanghai 2010 Expo.
A quick bit of googleing brought me to the architects/designers' website, where I found lots of their other projects, most of them absolutely impressive!


Here are my favourite three:
