Whirlwind

It’s been a while….it’s been a long while since I’ve blogged. What a whirlwind it has been since I’ve arrived back in the good ol’ U. S. of A.! Today marks five weeks and 2 days since I’ve returned! And, wow, has it gone quick. I’ve been extremely busy with online health groups and my own health & wellness. Sometimes I feel as if there aren’t enough hours in the day and I realize that is probably a good problem for me to have.

I’m totally overdue in writing this post.. I feel like I have to feature these two amazing restaurants that I had the privilege of visiting in England, because they were so amazing….and because I feel like reminiscing a bit. I’m totally missing you, England.

Duck & Waffle

Located on the 40th floor of the Heron Tower, Duck & Waffle is now a new favorite in London. The views, the food…just have a look for yourself below. (I spy tower bridge!)

We got lucky and the request for a window seat was granted–I highly recommend trying to do the same. The Duck Congee and Crispy Polenta were out of this world! You better believe I’ll be back for this view and delicious food. Oh, and the best part is…this place is open 24/7! They have breakfast, brunch, and all day menu options! Thanks for the surprise 🙂 xx

The Hind’s Head

This was my last night in England, so it was a pretty special meal. I absolutely loved the vibe of this place. At the time, they had 2-3 set menus to choose from. I chose the “Elizabeth” menu, and it was amazing. The meal started off with pea & ham soup with a yummy scotch egg (I was mostly excited for the scotch egg since I was dying to try one for the first time–so good!)

The second course was seared scallops with horseradish and fig puree. I’m a huge scallops lover, and these were probably the best I’ve had! My third course was the confit butternut squash, and fourth was the breast of pigeon. I finished with not only one but TWO desserts! It was so much food. I definitely did not leave hungry and I will most definitely return to The Hind’s Head in Bray. It was a night to remember.

Life

I learned quite a bit about myself, and LIFE itself, during my time in England. It was so refreshing to just have some time away. It’s been nice to get back into my normal routine, but I’m already looking forward to my next visit. It isn’t easy wanting to be two places at once! I’m still waiting for the whole “teleport” thing to be a REAL thing. Until then, I’ll be racking up my frequent flyer miles 🙂
