Dubai For 48h: Dubai Creek, On My Way to Dubai Heritage Village

Posted on January 22, 2013 | Leave a comment

From the Deira Gold Souq, I’ve walked along the Deira Creeks (pictures 1 & 2), then jumped in a taxi boat (pictures 3, 5 & 6) to the vicinity of Dubai Heritage Village (picture 4), where I stopped and chilled at the terrace of a cafe full of people with a view of one of the banks. The fresh orange juice is delicious. The walk from the Deira Gold Souk is long, forget your flip-flops for an old pair of sneakers (especially if like me, you get to lose the way!). But the Deira district offers a relaxing part of Dubai, so far away from the ultra-modern buildings of Downtown. To recommend to anyone looking for a break of the madness of malls, shopping and resorts.

East Sussex, UK: The Post Office Tea Rooms in St Leonards on Sea

Posted on August 11, 2012 | Leave a comment

If you need “action”, such creative leisure for the use of regressive fashion-somthing in you (knitting to de-stress!). Or at the opposite, if you dream of an “after work the fun” (fed up to act like a shopping addict in the old Hastings). Here is a charming tea room run by a couple of former graphic designers: the Post Office Tea Rooms, in five to ten minutes from Hastings House. It’s true, I really enjoy the knit evening concept (although I had already spoken in my posts on Toronto and Paris years ago). Anyway I like the concept, the concept only, okay! Because in weekend, I luv doing nothing (lol!): a few cups of tea, with two to three magazines to look at softly. And here, @ the Post Office Tea Rooms, with from time to time, a glance at the sea. Relax, relax. And for food lovers, the cakes are homemade!

If you are found of the “it was better before” trend, you will enjoy Home Store. Opened since January 2012 in Hastings, on several floors, this store will delight the regressive urbans, with old design furniture, lamps, dishes and many other usual and unusual objects (not vintage thanks! Pictures 1 & 2). A world dedicated to fans of Merci (in Paris), or A Vida Portuguesa (in Lisbon). The opening day of Store Home Kitchen, the restaurant of the store, I quickly met the chef Alastair Hendy which is also the owner of the store. He has been photographer for 20 years and a food photographer and stylist for twelve years (pictures 3 & 4).
