On Saturday I uncovered a great, big secret. Nordic Bakery on Golden Square is not so much Nordic as it is Finnish. In other words, it’s an undercover Finnish bakery. How do I know? Well, I don’t really. But with Finnish cinnamon buns, salmiakki (Finnish liquorice) and pirogi (Karelian pie) at the forefront of the bakery’s selection, it seemed Suomi played a huge part in shaping the cafe’s identity. The space is also decorated in a conspicuous sauna style, with wood panels adorning the walls.

It was two years ago to this day that I graduated from university. It’s my uni-versary. It’s also 2 years ago that the lovely Laura turned 23. Today, it’s her 25th birthday, and I’d like to dedicate this post to one of my closest and dearest friends.
A broken heart but not mine
There’s currently a travelling exhibition in Covent Garden called The Museum of Broken Relationships, and it’s by far the most engaging exhibition I’ve ever been to (if you don’t count the Dalí museum in Figueres).
Remembering the Swedish summer: Nora
I’m all alone. Everyone has abandoned me this bank holiday weekend. The Italian went off to Italy, Miss E is living the good life in the south of France, Eli sped up to the Lake District in an R8 and there are countless others who are now enjoying life outside London.
Actually, it’s not that bad. The sun’s shining and I’m meeting the Lovely Laura later today. Since I wasn’t clever enough to book a holiday for this 3-day weekend, I’ll have to reminisce the holiday I already had this year in Sweden.
In celebration of fika
For two days Visit Sweden have been promoting the concept of fika in London town. They’ve set camp in Soho Square, invited master baker Jan Hedh for a ride and are serving Löfbergs Lila coffee for free.
