I hate to waste cake

As a frequent visitor to London for work I often try and find new cafes out and about for an email and list catch up before heading to the next meeting.

Today was no exception as I was wandering down brick lane and found this little gem...

Kahaila

A little quirky coffee shop on Brick Lane. It was the beautiful selection of cakes in the window that drew me in. Having not got over my love (ahem addiction) of chai latte's I popped in for one here and ended up staying for lunch! They had a variety of homemade sandwiches and cakes of course in generous portions. I opted for the salami brie and tomato ciabatta and a small slice of raspberry and white chocolate home made cake. She said they didn't do small but I hate to waste cake!

 The atmosphere wasn't intimidating, light and quiet with creative types having meetings or typing away on their apple macs but the staff were really friendly!

The yummy cake selection

Buenos Aires, where even the dogs are attractive!

Well I have nicked the name of this post from the title of my Facebook album as it's so true!

Buenos Aires is a very very cool city. After visiting in July to meet my Aussie friends for two weeks, it's quickly become one of my favourite cities. Its very creative, with a massive cafe culture, restaurants a plenty, busy bars and clubs that you don't leave until 8am!

With two of my best friends headed off in that direction I decided to pull together some recommendations in a primarily picture based post of the crazy city of BA, Argentina.

Gunpowder, Treason & Plot

Remember, remember the 5th of November, gunpowder, treason and plot!

Bonfire Night is one of my favourite nights, I love getting wrapped up all toasty in a big coat, hat and gloves and playing with sparklers and eating yummy food!
