Monday Morning

There are lots of things you can moan about on a Monday morning. They're universally disliked. The faces on the London Underground around me say it all; hate the rain, it's cold, I'm tired, why did the weekend go so quick?!

However I'm making a positive spin on this autumnal Monday morning, giving in to the oncoming festive season, with a retrospective on the last 12 hours. (Did I mention my Christmas shopping is well under way?)

Torrential rain overnight whilst laying in bed getting inspired by interior decor ideas on Pinterest cosily under a duvet watching...

Boxsets. Orange is the New Black to be specific. The first of many series to be watched during the dark evenings drawing in...

With the central heating chugging away for the first time in months. Tootsies being warmed on the underfloor heating whilst my hands are...

Cradling a mug of something hot and sweet. A great lure out of bed along with the fleece dressing gown and slippers. Both getting reacquainted with the morning ritual before opening the doors to...

The winter wardrobe. So pleased to have said goodbye to the dress and sandal season. Goodbye pasty legs. Goodbye bingo wings, you're now safely under wraps. Hello boots / socks under boots / thermals, you'll help me... 

Battle the elements. Bring on the winter coat and fur scarf. Snug as a bug in a rug.

Glammersmith this morning

Last day of work for 2013 and I was up so early the sun still hadn't risen! Don't mistake the lamp-post! Luckily my home town was living up to its name at 7am this morning #fairylights #christmastime

Hammersmith Chocolate Delights

When I finally managed to break away from my default mode of Cafe Plum on a Sunday morning, I discovered a little gem nearer Hammersmith Grove. Situated between a florist and an independent cafe is a very cute creperie. All white wash decor, the air was filled with sugar-coated top notes!

This absolutely treat is one their classic waffle dishes (recommend one between two on next visit as this was so rich!) 



...but they also have a wide variety of savory and sweet pancakes!

Best thing about this place? No calories on the menu. See you next Sunday...

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...
