Hampstead Heath

I took these pictures a couple of weeks ago, when the sun was shining and it wasn't freezing.
The Heath is just such a beautiful location. I love the trees, the dogs,  all the posh people wearing wellies and/or khakis... ohh the Heath..

Petrie Museum of Egyptian Archaeology

London is an incredible city. Even though there are haters out there who think London is expensive, I don't listen because I know there is always something out there. If you are a Londoner you should know that London is definitely one of the best cities around to go and do free stuff! Am I right?

One of my stops this weekend was to the Petrie Museum of Egyptian Archaeology.
Located in the heart of UCL, this tiny space is dedicated to the best of Egyptian and Sudanese relics. It is FREE ENTRY and it is absolutely incredible. It doesn't look like any museum I have seen before. It is more like a library, with tables and chairs for the students who are looking for a quiet spot to study and  it is full of friendly faces.

The collection includes jewellery, tiles, everyday items and art.
The reason why I found this museum interesting is because it is nice to see such a well preserved little treasure. Nowadays, we are condemned to go to hectic places in Central London just to see a piece of history, and pay a huge fee for seeing an exhibition that might not be that great. This museum is free, small, and fun!
Plan a day out, go to the Petrie museum, and then go for a nice lunch out!

Kensington Palace. Enchanted Palace

This time Kensington Palace has really gone and done it. The latest exhibition 'Enchanted Palace' is the perfect showcase of magic and art. The exhibition, which features work by Chris Levine and Dame Vivienne Westwood promises to be an extraordinary experience for people of all ages.
The mixture of light, fashion and performance tells the story of all the princesses that have lived in the palace. Visitors have to use eyes and ears to find clues around and at the same time, understand the lives of these women. Their pain, their love stories, etc..



Tickets for adults are 12.50 gbp, so make sure to pencil it in your diary, because this is one you don't wanna miss!



Kudos! Xx

National Army Museum. When the comics went to war.


On the 14th of September, the National Army Museum will host a family night dedicated to comics.

'When Comics Went to War'  is a show that will explore the history of the British War comic book genre. The aim is to introduce these stories to a new generation.
If you ask me, Comics and vintage go together, so why not pop in for a night of fun?

Free entry
