      It was the perfect weather for a little ride on the canal and there was a lovely seabirds enjoying the sun too.

      We went for lunch at KuPP, a canal-side Swedish cafe which felt very similar to Akva in Edinburgh.

      I tucked into the quinoa, kale and butternut cakes which were pretty spicy and served with chilli & lemon goats curd, toasted pistachios and lingonberry dressing.

      We then got a little tour of the lab where Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin at St Mary's Hospital for a feature in our Paddington video.

    We popped into Book Mongers to check out the books and look for their dog, but found out that he has passed away.

    Tom treated himself to his first ever comic, Couch Fiction, a graphic novel about psychotherapy.

      I was really keen to try some Jamaican food, so we went for dinner at Three Little Birds.

      It was Happy Hour when we arrived so we ordered some half price cocktails with a Rum Sour for me and a Ginger Daiquiri for Tom.

      We started with the pumpkin croquettes which were delicious, especially with the crumbly hazelnut drizzle.

      Next came the plantain with ginger, honey and lime. Tom absolutely hates the taste of banana, so I was worried he wouldn't like them but he loved them, saying they tasted more like potato than fruit.

      We then shared the salmon and some rice and peas. The salmon was served in a beetroot pesto jerk which was delicious and not too spicy at all.
