{ oldest general store }

By Brit

During my roadtrip to New England, I went to a lot of general and country stores, amongst others to Gray’s in Adamsville, Rhode Island. Built in 1788 by Samuel Church, Gray’s is purportedly the oldest continuously operating general store in the country and is home to the town’s first post office, founded in 1804.

Maine’s Southern coast

Enjoying the late summer amber sun after a fall like summer in France with long walks on the dazzling white sandy beach. Lighthouses dot the shore, buoys embellish the Maine landscape on houses, seagulls are floating over our heads and the salty smell of the ocean makes me so happy. Delicious ice creams and eating lobster rolls in a comfy lobster shack are only a few yummy delights and so quintessentially Maine.

From Connecticut’s historic coastline to rural Farm Coast, Rhode Island

We left the bustle of the city behind us and started our roadtrip at the coastline of Connecticut to finally dive into Farm Coast, a picturesque rural area of villages and farms with views of stone-fenced pastures, salt marshes, church steeples, harbors, and fields that reflect the rural quality of 19th century New England. We visited the Historic Tiverton Four Corners, a lovely and quaint three-hundred year old cross-roads village.

During my little getaway to the South of France I discovered the lovely store L’Atelier des Ours in Uzès filled with vintage treasures and old fashioned clothes.

{ garrison public house }

By Brit

During my last stay in London, I discovered a wonderful new foodie spot, the Garrison Public House. This pub is absolutely gorgeous with its shabby chic interior. I absolutely fell in love with the tea cup chandelier, so heavenly beautiful. Concerning food, there is a nice and varied selection of dishes after everyone’s fancy. The stuff is very friendly and encouraged me taking photos which is not always as a matter of course. The location is also great because it’s only a short walk from the lovely Borough Market. A real treat and eye candy.
