London visit

I went for a long weekend trip to London together with my sister and Morris last weekend. So here's some picture in case you're curious :).

I recently bought myself a new suitcase in an explosive green color to easily identify. And it sure is easy to see coming on the conveyer belt. I even managed to catch a glimpse of it as it was getting loaded on the plane. So I felt fairly certain it was arriving together with me.


The whole day in copenhagen had been grey and dull but as we took off and flew over the clouds I got to get a bit of suntherapy. I always think that views like these are so beautiful!

Both me and my sister and Morris flew with Norwegian at approximately the same time and both planes offered free wifi. It was quite surreal that we were able to sit and chat together and follow up on each others location. I was about 15min ahead of her in the air. We sent each other photos and recommendations of what they had to offer on their snack list.



The plane ride went past in no time!

A good start of the morning, getting ready for a big day of shopping!

I don't think I've ever seen snow in London before, but to my big surprise I woke up to a white London. This is a picture of Caritas backyard. Looks so strange seeing palmtrees covered in snow. It's almost like its photoshopped.


We spent the day at Westfield shopping mall. Same place I went shopping to when I was in London last spring for the royal wedding. I basically demanded that we would go back to Jamie's Italian (Jamie Olivers restaurant) so I once again could try the best olives in the world. And it was to no disappointment!


They taste so different from any other olives I've eaten. These are somehow sweeter in taste and almost a bit buttery. Mmm...

Marina ordered for lunch this really good pasta with chicken liver. I feel so stupid in many ways because I know I love chicken liver, but somehow now growing older and knowing what it really is I kinda can't get myself to make it or order it ever. But I got to taste some and it was as good as I remembered. Why am I having such a hard time with it? I have nothing against liverpaté...? Maybe I should just get my act together and give it a try.

Morris is having a Jamie's Burger. He's only sad because he was forced to pose without his pacifier.


Can you find Morris???
A little game he found hilarious and could keep on doing over and over and over again.

And aaah.... I also got my dosage of Boost!


Here taking the double decker in to town for another day of shopping.


A little better behaving Mickey posing with Marina and Morris in the Disney store

Morris did some shopping at the Disney store. And he was so proud of his bag. He had to hold on to the bag himself the rest of the day. Got a bit hard at times when it was getting dragged on the ground while he was sitting in his stroller. But with a shopping bag and good looking as that I would keep a strong hold to the bag as well. And not to mention the content in it. Cars.

Me, Carita and Morris

Lakka, my cousin, and Michelin-Milla. I look massive :) My jackets zipper decided to give up on me as soon as I had landed in London so the whole trip I had to use this fleecejacket Carita kindly gave me.







A pop-up mall. Quite the fun idea. It's a mini shopping mall consisting of individual stores in container boxes. The way I understood it was that they are there only temporary while the rest of the site is under construction.

So that was my trip to London in a nutshell of pictures. Already looking forward going there again. Think it'll have to be shortly after Hilda has arrived and we finally will now the gender as there were SO much cute clothing!
