Indoor Picnics

You can’t always rely on the great British weather and in the height of summer we have been hit with the odd dull or rainy day!

A Little Break At M by Montcalm Shoreditch

Over the weekend Caro, Sarah and I headed up to London for an event with Mumsnet, seen as it would take us each a couple of hours to travel in we thought why not make the most of it and stay overnight. After a little browse online we settled on the M by Montcalm drawn in instantly by the luxuriousness of the rooms, the thought of loosing a couple of hours in the spa and the fab location; in the heart of Shorditch surrounded by lots of amazing bars and restaurants.

Iceland & The #PowerOfFrozen
