A VERY GOOD DAY








I often think that the best thing about getting to this point in life is getting a place of your own; and among friends, the fun of visiting each other at home. No packed malls, no crazy queues at cafes, no deafening ambient noise, just lots of home-cooked food (that miso chicken was yum!), good conversation, and often an odd 'visitor' poking around with her classica, snap-snapping away ;)

On another note, our planning for the autumn trip is more or less done. We are going to Japan (yes! again!), this time down south to Kyushu. I am all so ready to pull on my scarves and boots, and see some beautiful mountains and valleys again.

Chat again soon.

    I couldn't agree with you more! My boyfriend and I have just moved from our suburban home to a (more) central London flat and we are over the moon! I simply cannot wait for friends to pop over for tasty nibbles and vice versa!

    Your flat looks extremely stylish and I adore the photography on your blog :)

    Hello! I stumbled upon your wonderful space yesterday. Likewise, I share a similar indescribable liking for Japan and hope to discover more of the country through your lenses. Keep writing & snapping, Shirley!

      Hello nice to meet you :) I'll try to keep it up though sometimes this blog can get pretty neglected. What attracts you to Japan?

    Your crockery is just delightful and so unique. Where did you get that planet plate?

      It belongs to my friend, Lauren and she says it's a Rob Ryan plate. I think you can try googling him, he's quite famous for his paper cuts I think :)

    Is this your place? Looks very chic and adult with dark furniture and dark window frames.

      Oh yes the food was really good! But unfortunately that's not my home, I wish I have space for a little garden like hers.
