Roast Dinner at The Rivington Grill, Greenwich

Whilst we're on the hunt to find a house and escape the city, I'm also very aware that when we do finally leave Greenwich, we're going to miss it immensely. We'd live here forever if it wasn't so ridiculously expensive...! House hunting is proving to be a journey into the unknown... So with no clear idea of how long we may have left here in Greenwich, we've made it our mission to make the most of every moment. We have many restaurants, cafes and pubs on our doorstep to choose from. Infact we're spoiled for choice really! But whilst I appreciate the reliable chain eateries such as Pizza Express, Jamie's Italian and Byron Burger, what makes Greenwich so special are the independent establishments on offer.

Sundays wouldn't be Sundays without a roast dinner and I'd heard nothing but good things about the Sunday roasts served at The Rivington Grill, which is located on Greenwich High Road, next door to the Picturehouse Cinema. So on Sunday, Rob & I decided last minute to book a table for Sunday lunch. Another restaurant to tick off our long list before we eventually leave this part of London that has such a special place in our hearts! Greenwich is usually heaving on the weekend, with tourists coming from all over to browse the market stalls, shops, restaurants and museums. I didn't want to risk walking in for lunch and being turned away, so we booked over the phone an hour beforehand.

Brimham Rocks, Yorkshire



Being a southerner, I'm aware that most of my day-to-day posts feature places in London and the surrounding areas. So I thought I'd feature somewhere in the north of England for once! About eighteen months ago, Rob and I travelled up to Yorkshire to spend a week with lots of his family in a beautiful converted barn, to celebrate his Mum's 60th. We had a fun-packed week of countryside walks, a visit to York, shopping in Harrogate, ice cream on the Scarborough coast and picturesque drives through the snowy Yorkshire Dales. Yorkshire truly is a spectacular part of the country. One of my favourite parts of the week was visiting Brimham Rocks; the most incredible collection of strange yet beautiful, natural rock formations, nestled in the Yorkshire moors where children and their families are free to roam, climb and play on the rocks till their hearts are content. I'd love to share with you our time spent here...

The Liebster Award

I only started this blog in September and it's safe to say I'm quite overwhelmed with the support and positivity people have given me so far. Thank you to all of my followers. It baffles me that you enjoy taking the time to read my babbles, but I'm really enjoying this blogging malarkey so I shall continue!

So this week I've been nominated not once but three(!!!) times for The Liebster award. Thank you to Beth at http://bethlett.blogspot.co.uk, Lauren at http://notanotherunistudent.blogspot.co.uk and Samroise at http://samroise.blogspot.nl for nominating me - all of whom have brilliant blogs, check them out :)


The Liebster award is a pretty cool concept, it's basically a way of bloggers promoting each others blogs, and getting to know each other a bit more. A bit like social networking for bloggers I guess. I'm up for it!

The rules are:
Post 11 facts about yourself
Answer the questions you've been asked
Ask other bloggers some questions of your choice
And give some other bloggers some recognition!
