I should start by saying Happy New Year! I hope your year ahead is full fortune and happiness.
Over the Christmas period I spent some time thinking about what I might like to achieve with the time I have left in London. As after much thought I have decided to head home in May for some very special events later on in the year.
I also started thinking about things I could do keep me busy when I return to Sydney at the start of winter. Yes I am chasing winter's, which if you know me is a silly thing to do given I react so badly to the cold!
Naturally, all this thinking has lead me to write to another list, that fingers crossed, I will be able to complete.
So now I present to you the List for 2011:
1) Bake a cake from scratch (yes unbelievable but I have never done it properly, only ever from a packet)
2) Watch at least 6 classic movies (so far I have down Casablanca, Some Like it Hot and La Dolce Vita- I am open to more suggestions!)
3) Eat at the Tapas place near Kylie Minogue's house (if its good enough for Kylie then its definitely good enough for me)
4) See something at the Royal Albert Hall (I've viewed it from the outside but ive heard its a London must see)
5) Learn to drive (clearly something to do back in Australia! Less complicated and busy roads!)
6) Visit more vintage stores in London/ Check out Vivienne Westwood's store (after reading many biogs of well known fashion bloggers I have concluded I am missing out by not being involved in the world of vintage fashion)
7) Have an ice cream sundae at the 1950's parlour in Fortnum and Masons (it might be £15 but I have been assured it is worth it)
8) See a play at the Old Vic (again a London institution to itself)
9) Go clubbing in Soho (I have one friend who is perfect for this mission! You know who you are ;)
10) Do fashion high tea at the Berkeley (food treats designed by McQueen, Fendi, Louboutin- what girl could resist!)
11) Go up the London Eye (to see London in all its glory)
Things that I didn't get to do in 2010 that are staying on the List:
12) Visit Whisky Mist nightclub
13) Have traditional Fish and Chips
14) Go Disco Roller skating
15) Go to an old school bowling alley
16) Attend a UK Football game
17) Go to Ireland
18) Check out more of England eg/ Cornwall or Manchester or Cambridge
As always I am open to any suggestions that are imperative for the London list or for that matter the Sydney return list.
I will conclude this post by saying that my NYE resolution is to blog at least once a week so I plan to be a lot more reliable- promise!
Lots of Love
