Happy July Holiday to our Canadian and American friends. And Happy 7th UK Anniversary to The Burnout Queens.
This month, we’re showing you our favourite daytrip locale in London…Chelsea. We love, love, love spending time here (we rented a flat here while we planned our big move to the UK). When you ‘do’ Chelsea you don’t ever ‘do’ dull!
An unexpected delight was this shoe shop’s sidewalk with a shabby-chic bench topped with wooden boxes full of the most delightful flowers. What a truly urban garden (we’re going to steal this idea it’s so fabulous).
By now you know each London daytrip involves some form of culture and art, like the Saatchi Gallery debute party for The Stone’s Exhibitionism! No we weren’t invited, but we did enjoy the iconic street installation…
Easy to soak in the style of Chelsea whether sitting to rest our tired shopping feet (where are all the parcels…behind the photographer…there were quite a few this trip) or grabbing a quick cuppa in one of the open air caff’s. It just makes The Burnout Queens instantly relax and feel right at home again.
A girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do when it comes to shopping in Chelsea, so we are never sat still for long. Just one last stop before we start the ride home! And Chelsea being Chelsea, the transportation was supremely unexpected (no this is not how we got home, although I wish…)
Definitely a few £££’s lighter, we endured a cramped trainride back to the seaside and the pups who are always over-the-moon in their greeting. Then it’s back to work, tending the roof garden (aubergine/eggplant, tomatoe/tomato and loads of lettuce), and generally waiting for sunshine and our next adventure!
Till next month from the seaside and London…or who knows where….
