Notting Hill Carnival 2016

-
A little trip to the legendary Notting Hill Carnival 0n the 28th of August 2016 was absolutely the thing to do. Although the 29th would have apparently been better, being there on the 28th was still an amazing experience.

The smell of the amazing food was great, and being in London, a large number of the Jamaican and thai food stalls were serving Halal food. Quite an interesting integration.

Here are some photos of the occasion

An impromptu visit to Bristol was planned to visit the city and get to know more about it, in an attempt to understand what we want and what kind of place we'd like to live in. Little did we know that we'll end up on Bristol Pride week-end. Our week-end and research over there brought to our attentions to why the city could be a potential location to settle down in for any young couple Reason 1: It's Just Beautiful The city is full of beauty, with the modern and historical architecture side by side.

Camden Market

It is now home to over 1000 stalls ranging from bread to expensive antiques. Unlike the high street, the traders are predominantly self employed small sole traders or family businesses. A lot of them uphold deep certain values of their own that they bring to their offering. For instance, you can have fully organic food shops, vegan, gluten free to traditional way of working with leather. Some of the things I like about the market.. 1. Coffee Starting your day with a delicious latte made with some nicely roasted coffee beans and creamy textured frothy milk from inside the market itself. Facing the bridge with the clock just behind you is where you an find on your left the entrance to one of the food section of the market. On your left would be some succulent cakes, pastries and bakes and steps away on you

Today is the anniversary of the Independence day of my country, Mauritius. I was born there and lived for 23 years before moving to UK. It's fair to say I hardly spent my adult life in Mauritius. Going there regularly however, I have had the chance to look at the country in a different light completely. It's a great place to live and people are very nice. One day, I went to the vegetable market in Port Louis and took some photos I'd like to share with you.
