<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Obviously <i>being </i>in those landscapes/places would be the ideal thing, life is not always ideal though is it? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Looking so forward to going back to London in a few weeks and creating some kind of a real life again - just have to get there first! It's strange feeling so excited/happy/apprehensive & sad all at the same time, but that seems to be the way when you have to leave some things behind to get to where you want to be! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Hello!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Right. Well, I've been in Australia for <i>months</i> now & I've spent that time generally hanging about, but haven't bothered to put anything up here because I've also been spending most of my mental time stressing about getting my new UK Visa. The sheer amount of energy I spent worrying/stressing about said Visa was most definitely unwarranted - I have in my possession a new 5 year UK Visa (!!!!!!!!!) and a whole lot of time/energy to spend doing something other than worrying about it so I thought it might be time to pick up where I'd left off around here...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Last year was fairly hectic & I have a backlog of photographs I want to share with you but for now I thought I'd post about that time we got married at the Camden Town Hall & had a nice Going Away/We Got Married Today party at the brewery with all of our friends...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The day went something like this:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Caught bus into town<span style="color: #f6b26b;">/</span>Headed to Store Street Espresso for pre-getting married coffee & cake times<span style="color: #f6b26b;">/</span>wandered to town hall in the lovely grey drizzle of London<span style="color: #f6b26b;">/</span>Met a few very wonderful friends that agreed to be our witnesses<span style="color: #f6b26b;">/</span>Got married<span style="color: #f6b26b;">/</span>Walked to the pub for some drinks<span style="color: #f6b26b;">/</span>Caught the Tube to Bermondsey, and spent the rest of the evening drinking/eating and generally having a lovely time! We are so stupidly lucky to have such amazing friends (and to have been able to have a super relaxed party in the brewery - which we are oh-so-grateful for) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Obviously all of the photographs are of food. I do not apologise.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I didn't take many photographs so I missed out on getting pictures of a few things (including getting someone to take one of us!) but hopefully everyone had a good time and ate some delicious food! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">We were really lucky to be able to get almost everything from the incredible makers of Spa Terminus where we both work - and are so crazy grateful to our friends who did things like bake 20 baguettes fresh for us, make amazing veggie friendly Borscht (and remember to get bowls/spoons which we totally forgot to organise!), make a special trip to buy cheese & cycle it back to the arch, let us have a party in the brewery, procure ice cream, pour their own beer, turn up to a party on a Thursday evening after working all day and just be seriously fantastic all-round amazing people! No wonder we can't wait to get back to London... </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I'm not eloquent enough to write about any of this in a decent way, and I'm sure I've forgotten to mention lots and I'm really sorry but basically we had the best time ever at our </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Going Away/We Got Married Today party... thank you. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Possible Future Neighbourhood Exploration is what we have been up to lately - a few weekends ago we headed south of the river(!) to wander around Peckham & see if perhaps a move down that way could be on the cards. We had a lovely, lazy Sunday meandering about the place - helped along by too much coffee (caffeine overload is pretty unpleasant it turns out) and some seriously delicious baked goods. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I've been dreaming about a lazy weekend breakfast at <a href="http://e5bakehouse.com/" target="_blank">E5 Bakehouse</a> for a while now - hopefully it will become a reality again soon! For now, here are some pictures from previous visits. It's a beautiful bakery in Hackney, under the railway arches (like all good things) where delicious-ness is made every day. We were even lucky enough to be shown around the bakery a while ago - I love getting a glimpse into spaces like this...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I'd never seriously thought about going to Paris but then living in London & only being 2 hours away on the train it seems silly not to venture over at some point. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">After being in Amsterdam the city felt huge & difficult to get my head around. We spent our time doing super touristy things this time 'round (The Eiffel Tower, Versailles, The Louvre, Notre Dame etc) and I'm glad we did.</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> All good experiences but I don't know if I'd head back to them all again given the chance! </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Although I would </span><i style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">definitely</i><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> go to Versailles again. Next time I'd skip going into the main palace (oh-so-crowded) & spend all our time wandering around the </span><b style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">amazing</b><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> grounds and hopefully make it to the Petite Trianon which we didn't have time for, even though we spent a whole day there! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It would be nice to go back one day, there's a lot left to see/do and I know lots of people that <i>love</i> it, maybe it's a slow burning kinda thing...</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Also, it was crazy hot the whole time we were in Paris so perhaps the heat wasn't helping!</span></div>

You're Lovely.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I must admit, I didn't like Amsterdam very much at first. I have a tendency to dislike new places for no apparent reason, it is completely irrational & thankfully wears off pretty quickly! The city definitely grew on me... being able to walk everywhere, beautiful canals, interesting museums, good food - how could I have mumbled about not enjoying it for the first day & a half?! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">We rambled about the place & did a few touristy things (The Anne Frank House, Van Gough Museum) as well as spending time drinking in the sunshine along the canal, eating cheese, exploring markets, searching for delicious apple pie (which we definitely found!) missing out on eating pancakes (next time!) and frequenting good beer venues. I hope that we'll get a chance to go back to Amsterdam sometime soon so I can appreciate it without having the awful 'grumpy traveller' phase!</span></div>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Managing to get a table outside next to the canal made our lazy Sunday afternoon totally blissful!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Some of my favourite places we visited in Amsterdam:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><a href="http://www.dekoffiesalon.nl/page=site.home?lang=gb" target="_blank">Koffie Salon</a></span> <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: small;">- recommended by a friend & luckily just around the corner from our funny little hotel. Great coffee & a beautiful building - I can't believe I didn't take any photographs of this place! Must have been concentrating too intently on getting my morning coffee fix.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><a href="http://www.winkel43.nl/" target="_blank">Winkel 43</a> - we stumbled upon this place late on a Sunday afternoon on the hunt for Apple Pie. I am so glad we did. Not only was the pie delicious (see above) & the setting lovely, we also had drinks accompanied by deep fried cheese sticks (don't judge us). We left feeling rather tipsy and full of goodly delicious Apple Pie. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><a href="http://www.iamsterdam.com/en-GB/Ndtrc/Boerenmarkt%20Noordermarkt%20Amsterdam" target="_blank">Noordermarkt</a> - Strolling through this market in Jordaan was lovely (before the skies opened up & we had to run for cover in a nearby pub, what a shame!). I really enjoyed exploring Jordaan, interesting streets, cute shops, good food/drinks - a nice cruise-y way to spend some time in Amsterdam.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><a href="http://www.annefrank.org/" target="_blank">The Anne Frank House</a> - Heavy going but excellently laid out - the museum was definitely worth a visit & the wait in line (we had failed to book online in advance, which I very much recommend doing!). The worst part of the day was being asked (while standing in the line, nay, having<i> stood in the line in front of this person for 20 mins already</i>) 'So, who was Anne Frank?' That was a frustratingly bizarre conversation. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><a href="http://www.vangoghmuseum.nl/vgm/index.jsp" target="_blank">Van Gough Museum</a> - It panned out that we only had time to visit one other museum on our trip & this was it. It was really well put together (as you would expect for a museum dedicated to one artist) and is worth a look even if you're not the biggest fan of his work. My advice to you is (as always) <i>Go early! </i>Obviously booking online ahead of time (for the more organised of you) is the best way to go but getting there early meant we managed to avoid the queue, which was <i>massive</i> when we left, and enjoy the museum without too many people about. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: small;">There's a lot of Amsterdam left to explore & we are hoping to be back there in a month or so to do just that! If anyone has any favourite places let us know & we will put them on the to do list!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Edinburgh was amazing (again) & the train trip from London provided some beautiful scenery, even without the copious amounts of daffodils that graced the hills on our last trip. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Travelling with my family had a weird impact on the photographs I took while we were away - obviously with just the two of us usually there aren't many photographs involving people, so that was a bit different but having access to a smartphone (I have a crappy, but very reliable & never-needs-charging samsung flip phone, no camera, definitely no internet access!) changed the photographs I chose to take with my DSLR. Usually it's glued to my face the whole time we are travelling (with a proper amount of just 'taking-it-all-in' hopefully). Yes, I'm the embarrassing person that pulls out a giant camera no matter where we are. This time I noticed myself taking more photographs on the phone because it was just...easier. The quality is different but so are the photographs themselves - being able to quickly take a picture without hauling out a huge camera was definitely something I enjoyed. I don't think that having constant access to a smartphone would make me shelve the DSLR but it would definitely allow me to take quick snaps of nice everyday things. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So, the next few blog posts from our trip will have some weirdly square phone pics thrown in (I now have an <a href="http://instagram.com/emikojane/" target="_blank">Instagram</a> account, which for obvious reasons can't be updated very often - although Ben has a fancy phone I can get my hands on every now & then!)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">My favourite way to meet a new place is to spend time in cafes, hang out in parks, wander around (undoubtedly getting lost along the way) & eat whatever delicious food we come across. Edinburgh is a wonderful to place to get lost in, there is something interesting around every corner & I think you could spend a lifetime exploring it, marvelling at the history of it all.<br /><br />Here are a few of our favourite places...mostly the whole place to be honest...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The second half of our trip was spent in various places around Scotland. We arrived into Edinburgh & spent two days there in amazing sunshine before heading further North into Aberdeenshire (& then back to Edinburgh again!) to visit friends & the town Ben used to live in.<br /><br />Edinburgh is absolutely <i>beautiful</i>. I was constantly looking around, making silly "ooh-ahhs" & narrowly avoiding bumping into people/stationary objects all over the place. We had it on good advice that Craigmillar was a castle not to be missed so we headed out there one morning & damn was it good! You can wander through the ruins freely, exploring at your own pace, imagining all the life that passed through the crumbling castle walls.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The Mikkeller Bar celebrated its 3rd birthday on the last day of our Copenhagen trip so we headed there after a detour to Christiania & camped out for the afternoon. I was pleasantly surprised that the entire street had been closed for the bar, markets, street food & a brilliant Jazz band. I did my best at CBC by drinking all the sour beer in the joint so I switched back to cider for the Mikkeller Bar party. It was a great way to end our time in Copenhagen. They definitely know how to throw a street party, in a relaxed, fun kind of way. The best part: Watching a family carry their heavy outdoor table setting from their apartment, organise it on the street, eat dinner, have some drinks & carry it back home again. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Our first morning in Copenhagen was spent in Norrebro at a brilliant cafe eating delicious breakfast, while there we noticed some posters for a festival happening in the area on Saturday. Ben was going to be at CBC all of saturday so I made plans to meet some friends & check out what was happening. It turned out to be a really lovely street festival with markets, drinks, bands & food. It was lovely to wander around and feel a bit summery. We even ate ice cream*.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I was lucky enough to be able to mooch into the Brewers dinner on the Friday night of our Copenhagen trip... One of the stranger places I've found myself, it was held at the restaurant <a href="http://www.mhcph.com/" target="_blank">Mielcke & Hurtigkarl</a></span><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="line-height: 16px;"><b style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">.</b><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> </span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">As always happens they forgot there would be two vegetarians at the dinner despite having let them know before hand! There were a lot of courses & everything was delicious but the best thing about the evening was seeing the room full of brewers drinking fancy wine & everyone navigating the cutlery situation. After dinner we moved over to another building where a metal band played (way too loudly), a dessert station was set up & an open bar was absolutely devastated - surprisingly the gin didn't last all that long! We were sensible & left at about 2:30am as the festival started up again at 11am on Saturday & everyone had to work. Breakfast at the hotel the next morning was full of hungover faces and some people straggling in for food before <i>finally</i> making it to bed. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">From Berlin we hopped the overnight bus to Copenhagen, arriving a day before the Copenhagen Beer Celebration. Arriving at 6:30am & not being able to check into our hotel until 3pm meant we had a lot of time to kill in a slightly delirious/sleep deprived state so we did the sensible thing & headed out for breakfast. Danish Breakfast is awesome. Rye bread, fruit, cheese...what's not to like!<br /><br />Our trip to Copenhagen came about because of the Copenhagen Beer Celebration that Ben had attended last year & was working at this time. A lot of the time was spent drinking beer/talking about beer/thinking about beer but we managed to see a lot of the city as well & I ventured out on my own quite a bit while Ben (& everyone we know from London) was at the festival.<br /><br />The city itself is really beautiful. Clean, calm & obviously full of attractive Danes riding bicycles. The sun stayed out until 11pm some nights and in the 4 days we were there we encountered a surprising amount of street parties/festivals. In the warm weather I can imagine hanging about in Copenhagen & being quite happy but I don't think I would survive the darker winter months. Hopefully we will head back there sometime (probably for CBC next year!) so I can experience it without comparing it to Berlin, an unfair way to look at it all I think.<br /><br />Here are some photographs from around the place...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">One of the reasons we decided to add in a trip to Berlin (not that you really need a reason, the city is amazing) is that I was lucky enough to get an appointment with the insanely talented <a href="http://sarahbbolen.com/" style="background-color: white;" target="_blank"><span style="color: #741b47;"><b>Sarah B Bolen</b></span></a>! I had a great time and the studio is incredibly beautiful. If you are ever planning to go to Berlin & want to get some work done then I can whole heartedly recommend Sarah, not only does she do awesome work in an amazing studio, she's super friendly and has cute cats too! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Obligatory pictures of beer/food (if donuts can be considered food...oh wait, the filling was made of fruit so it definitely counts.) Being Vegetarian in a non-english speaking country was totally fine, falafel was our go-to meal & we pretty much never get tired of it so no complaints here! I had envisaged eating vegetables covered in cheese which I would also have had no complaints about...<br /><br />Aside from the 4 day donut crawl that our trip became we also managed to get around to a few brew pubs. I have it on good authority that the beer was good most places and I can definitely say that the cider at Hops & Barley is good but I'd be careful of it if you're ever there! </span><br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">I got horribly drunk in this fine establishment. All I could think was <i>how did I end up here, in Berlin, so very drunk? </i>When the room stopped spinning I realised that I had perhaps had too much cider & getting to Berlin just involved a short plane trip. All very simple to the sober mind.<br />
