One thing worth lugging all the way from London is this amazing coffee machine Tassimo. Yes we at home have more than one brand of coffee machines (check here) and we are hopeless coffeeholics.

When i fist so Moaz and to be absolutely frank i was shooting something from across the street of  Moaz while my husband waited in front of it.

One evening as we were in Euston Station waiting to board a train, we felt like we wanted to have something to eat before our journey. Butootee suggested we try Ed’s diner and i was skeptic. Vegetarians & Diners do not really go together well now do they? To my surprise we found not one [...]
