London love

Just incase you were wondering, the visa never came through. I finally got that call late Thursday and just like that I was presented with a free weekend. What a rare occasion. Initially I had grand plans of escaping but to be honest after everything I also need a little  R & R. I was chatting with a friend from Australia who used to live with me and our conversation got me thinking about all the places we used to go. I wanted a little London adventure to myself. 

It was a grey but warm day and I thought I would go to Somerset House. I have to say this really is turning into one of my favourite places. It had two wonderful photography exhibits which were inspiring and also strangely emotional. To be moved by a picture is an incredible skill and one I hope to accomplish.

I had also brought my camera and my new 28mm lens. After admiring other peoples work it was time to capture some of my own images. I normally prefer to shoot more intimate pictures but gave myself a little challenge to try and create some interesting shots with this wide lens. Here are a few of images I took. 

I know where I will be spending some of my free summer days.

Take 2

I was rather spoilt for my birthday in January and was taken to champagne high tea at The Dorchester with three fabulous friends. (You can check out my blog here if you missed it http://rozalcazar.weebly.com/1/post/2013/01/did-you-say-high-tea-darling.html ). Anyway, it was such a lovely afternoon that we all decided to make it a regular social occasion. Six months later we finally had that date. Nothing like a good girly catch up over a pot of fresh tea and cake.

If you haven't been to Sketch (http://sketch.uk.com/ ) I suggest you ring up and book a table ASAP. They do a wonderful high tea although being the rebel I am I ordered breakfast (smoked salmon and cream cheese bagel) and tea with scones! Okay, so I had serious food coma and couldn't move for most of the afternoon but it was well worth it. The food was absolutely amazing, so fresh and tasty. The staff were lovely and as we gossiped our comas away we did not feel the pressure to leave that you can find at other establishments. As a venue, Sketch is absolutely incredible, each room is elaborately decorated. I can not do it justice  by trying to describe it to you. I recommend you see and enjoy it with your own eyes.

I have to thank my cousin for introducing me to Sketch two years ago. Since my first introduction I have had the pleasure of sharing many special occasions here with good friends. Enough chit chat, I hope you enjoy the photos and they don't make you too hungry...

Coffee addict loud & proud

What, another coffee blog? I know, I know, I am an addict but no trip to Borough Market is complete without a visit to Monmouth Coffee. Personally it is always my first and favourite stop, so you can understand why I thought it deserved it’s own little write up and photo shoot. I was introduced to Monmouth in Covent Garden when I first moved to London, gulp, almost nine years ago, and it is my favourite place to take friends when you need a good coffee and gossip session. My drink of choice is a black filter coffee.

A Royal experience

18/12/2012

About two weeks ago I was lucky enough to film a corporate event in the Royal Opera house. It was a very long day but it was interesting to see the sunset, sunrise and again sunset all in one day. As a venue, the Royal Opera house is pretty spectacular as it has so much glass and allows a lot of natural light. I have been lucky enough to see both a ballet and an opera here. You can get tickets starting at ten pounds (mainly for the ballet, opera will generally be more expensive). It is a lovely experience and I would recommend seeing a show or even just to escape the hustle of Covent Garden and enjoy a tea or something stronger. I came back during the day for a coffee. It was a surreal treat having this huge venue almost to myself.
