Space Station Sixty-Five

It was almost too hot to leave the house today but I couldn't resist checking out our new neighbourhood.

Kennington has a really pretty rainbow high street dotted with cafes, restaurants and a bookstore.

I'm less surprised that Charlie Chaplin went to school at our place after spotting a couple of houses with plaques where he used to live nearby.

We're still waiting for the internet to arrive at our place, so I was looking for somewhere good to work when I found Vanilla Black.

It was a gorgeous little bookstore and cafe serving iced coffee with a little garden at the back.

I hadn't planned on getting anything to eat until I spotted their selection of cronuts and had to try this pistachio one.

I took advantage of the free WIFI and then browsed through the cookbooks for dinner inspiration before heading to the supermarket to pick up supplies.

On my way home, I stumbled upon an art gallery called Space Station Sixty-Five, hidden in an alley behind our house. With a name like that, I knew I had to check it out.

The current exhibition was named Only The World Remains by Bridgette Ashton and Nicole Mollett.

I loved this seaside souvenir made from a shell. I'd love to try making my own on my next trip to the beach.
