London Day 2: Crystal Palace

Since we were still recovering from yesterday, we decided to stay local and have a relaxing mooch around Crystal Palace. I thought I'd still post about the quaint little town as, I know I'm biased but, I really love it!

The streets are aligned with quirky boutiques, not to mention the beautiful Crystal Palace Park - we're lucky enough to have our kitchen & living room windows overlooking it! It's lovely people watching on a cozy Sunday morning and having a nosy at families going about their day... especially when it's been snowing. (You'd also be surprised how many joggers there are Christmas morning!)

 Sorry for the mess, going for that Tracey Emin vibe 


We may or may not have forgotten to move our shopping bags...

Finally, I thought I'd remind you all Mother's Day is looming! (10th March)


This evening, Livvy made her famous fajitas... if you want, I could do a 'how to cook...' post on them? Any Mexican foodies out there? 


We also baked Nutella Cheesecake & yes... it tastes just as good as it sounds!

Here's the recipe if you fancy giving it a go or just click for some serious food porn - I'm not judging!
