In London you can dine out in any part of the world. The best kept secret in Latin American themed restaurants is Arepa, specialised in Venezuelan cuisine strictly home made with ingredients imported from Venezuela.
The owners of this cosy restaurant with a lovely view in the Haggerston Canal (very near to Islington and the City) are new parents Augusto and Katherine. They told me they had no…
When you talk about British people with foreigners, what immediately springs to mind is Tea Time. It might be a stereotype but it is very truthful. At 4pm a genuine English person needs a cup of tea and a biscuit 🙂 Well, as an Italian, I have totally bought into that habit and I feel more British in that respect than some native folks. That attitude helped me feel at ease when I met Mr…
Easter Sunday is about more than Easter eggs but if your children are like mine, they have very little interest in anything else! To introduce them to the idea that Easter Sunday is a day of ancient celebration and feasting, why not create something special to decorate the Easter Table? I like to have all my old favourites on display that day and napkin rings made of felt are a pretty addition to…

First up is the Discover Story Centre in Stratford. If you can drag yourself away from Westfield, this is an absolutely magical place…

Messy playing with colour is amazing whether you are a child or an adult. Personally I cannot resist colouring and messing around with paints …. Maybe it’s a bit childish but summer holidays are a great time for us parents to play more with kids. And colours are just perfect tools to start with!
Being based in SW London and spoilt for choice with activities for kids, we may often…
If you thought for a moment that teddy bears are boring, well think twice after checking this post about London Mums experiencing a Build-a-Bear workshop. I must admit I often passed by the shops across London and never dared entering as I found the idea of making a teddy bear not quite exciting …. I was SO wrong.

From Saturday 11th February 2012, the Science Museum is to display the Chilean rescue capsule – Fénix 2. So exciting, thinking at the incredible story we all watched on TV only a couple of years ago.
The capsule was specially built to rescue 33 miners who were trapped underground at the San José mine, Chile in October 2010. The 3.9m capsule is made of steel and measures 54cm wide. All of…
