Hullo!
If you follow my mum on Twitter, you'll probably know that I'm staying with her in London for a little while.
Usually I live in the countryside, but we're giving it a little trial run to see if I like it here.
So, she thought it would only be fair if The Baby Londoner had his very own blog post... and here we are!
The first ever blog post written by me, Custard.
Mum's typing it up though, because my paws are a bit of a hindrance... obviously!
So.
I woke up at about 9am.
I share a bed with mum, this is more for her protection than my comfort, as you can see.
We had breakfast together in the kitchen.
She had toast, I had kibble.
Then we got all wrapped up and went for a W.A.L.K. (People no longer use the word 'Walkies' around me as I get a liiittllleee over excited. Luckily for me, I can spell so I still get a bit wiggly.)
Hyde Park was beautiful & I had a little dip in The Serpentine.
I had to break through the ice around the edges to get in, but I'm a ruff tuff swimming machine, so it was all cool (literally).
I wasn't allowed to chase the swans.
Unreasonable I say.
I so could have taken them in a fight.
This old man feeding the birds reminded mum of the bird woman in Mary Poppins so she started humming the song.
I quite liked it, so barked along.
We must have looked super cool.
On the way home we bought some flowers & hopped in a cab.
I don't mind taxis because I quite like looking out the window.
For lunch mum made her Lazy Tuna Melt, I had a bite... it was pretty freaking delicious.
A darned sight better than kibble!
I watched her make it so if you want one, do this:
Mix together 1 can of tuna, chopped up peppers in oil (the kind you find in the deli section) & some of your favourite chutney or hot sauce. Heat up a pan and brush one side of the bread with olive oil.
When the pan is hot, put one piece of bread in (oil side down) with a few slices of cheese on top. Pile on your tuna filling, more cheese & add your other piece of bread. Brush the top with oil & after a few mins, gently flip the whole thing over.
When both sides are brown & the cheese is melty, cut in half & serve.
Don't forget to share a piece with your pup!
After lunch we played with my favourite meerkat teddy (Monty).
He's such a little scamp.
He kept hiding under cushions & I spent for---ever looking for him.
Oh, and if you're into interiors, the pictures bellow should give you a little sneak peek into what mum's done to the sitting room...
Later on we took another W.A.L.K to Sloane Sq. where mummy had her hair 'did' & I read Hello magazine.
They didn't have Woof magazine, which I thought was inconsiderate, but whatever.
Then she bought some ridiculous nail polish.
I have no idea why, I think mud looks much nicer.
Something to do with SS12... who knows?
Theenn.... I popped into the office & everyone said how cute I looked today (goes without saying to be honest).
And we got a take away pork bun from Pitt Cue, which I shared & loved.
Hands down my favourite restaurant in London so far.
I pretty much napped for the rest of the afternoon until mum woke me up for...
... THE SNOW!
We walked the whoooole way around Chelsea.
I chased snowballs & dug holes & rolled around.
It was magical.
By the time we got home I was dead on my feet.
Seriously, nothing was waking me up.
See?
So far London seems pretty cool.
Maybe I'll stick around for a while... we'll see.

This is too cute. Got 'feed the birds' in my head now. Custard seems like the sweetest dog ever.
ReplyDeleteToo much for my heart! What an adorable little guy.
ReplyDeleteCustard is adorable - absolutely adorable.

Awwwww, this is such a cute post!
ReplyDeleteCustard is so adorable! N'awww!
This is adorable. I'm so glad someone else is completely dog mad in the blogging world. Custard is a cutey x
ReplyDeleteHaha, this post is brilliant! Custard seems like such a super dog, and a very lucky one too - my dog would be very jealous that Custard got to try a tune melt and play in the snow (we were the only place in the whole country who got now snow, I swear).
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely dog you have :)
Lucy xxx
Please can Custard have his own blog too?? Your hair is to die for in that photo, hope you went somewhere suitably fabulous that evening to swish it around! xx
ReplyDelete:) Sooo cute, Rose! I loved how you wrote it (ahem, sorry, Custard wrote it) And the photos with him are adorable, especially the one in the taxi (looking very serious and determined) and the one where he is dead tired and asleep - so sweet.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy reading your posts and am always looking forward to some more.
That snow photo is magical!
Hope your week is going well x
I want a little Custard of my own so bad!! As if I didn't love him already this has just melted my heart. And the pictures - amazing. More please :)
ReplyDeleteHow stupidly cute was this, what a gorgeous dog!! Big fan of the Chanel polish and the sound of that tuna melt, tomorrow's lunch sorted!

Custard, you need an agent! You are so so so cute. And very eloquent for a dog. Please stay in London! x
ReplyDeleteJust brilliant!
ReplyDeleteHi Rose,
ReplyDeleteI always love your photos, and these are especially beautiful. The colours, the clarity - it makes London look even lovelier than it is! I have recently got a digital slr, and have absolutely no idea how to use it properly! What camera do you use? And do you use any software to enhance the photos? Mine never seem to look like this! Any tips?
Thanks love, and keep it up.
All the best,
Hannah
Hi Hannah,
DeleteI use a Samsung NX100, a Lumix G3 and my iPhone.
I also use iPhoto to edit them, but I know a lot of bloggers use online editing softwear if you don't have a mac.
Hope that helps!
xx
Thanks for commenting on my blog sweets. This is beautiful xx
DeleteHey Hannah, a couple of quick tips:
DeleteFraming is NB - always try getting closer to what you're shooting. Make sure the light is coming from behind you, falling over your shoulder. You can experiment later. :)
Play around with the settings on your camera and shoot thousands of pictures - you will soon figure out what works.
Have fun!
OMG! Custard is sooo cute! I always debating taking my pup with me when I get my hair done, but I worry that he'll get a little too rambunctious (terriers!)
ReplyDeletei'm not gonna talk about you little boy as everybody did it, but to your "mummy".
ReplyDeleteRose the picture where you're at the hairdresser, it's incredible how you look just like Kate Middleton, exactly the same, with a less few years. (ok, i hope my english was correct)
By far the cutest post I've ever seen! Very cute pup!

One of my favourite posts, SO cute! What breed is he? Also, the photography was beautiful!
ReplyDeleteCustard, you should have mum let you write again!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous little fellow. You are so clever Custard.
ReplyDeletethis is so cute! Your dog looks a little bit like mine, maybe I should give him his only blog posts too x
ReplyDeletedontthinkbeforeyouspeak.blogspot.com
Oh, what a joy to behold! I discovered your blog earlier this week and now hours pass as I drool over your yummy recipes, say Aww a lot and laugh and envy your holiday snaps. Seriously, all your friends are attractive!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much and please never stop posting!
:D
aww what kind of pup is this?
ReplyDeletethis is beyond cute. i cant believe you can take him to the hairdressers. i'd take my dog, but shes a collie so i doubt theyd let her! xx oh, and your hair looks amazing, which hairdresser did you use? I'm looking for a new one! x
ReplyDeleteThis was soo cute!

Custard is super cute. What kind of dog is he?
ReplyDeletedeannedraeger(at)gmail(dot)com
Awwww! What kind of dog is he? I have a maltise-poodle. Custard and Roscoe would be great friends! xx
ReplyDeleteCustard needs his own blog!!!~!!!~!!!
ReplyDeleteSo cute!

ReplyDeleteHi, just started reading your blog and I'm loving it. Custard is sooo cute! Keep on keeping it real!
ReplyDeleteCustard is just so lovely and speaks with his eyes,I want dog like him asap!
ReplyDeleteThis is way better than studying. I'm so in love.
ReplyDeleteThis has to be one of the best blog posts I've ever read! Laughed the whole way through! haha x
ReplyDeleteGawd I love this dog! x
ReplyDeleteCuster, you look just like my "Odie". Amazing when viewing a pic or seeing another white maltese, you are so alike, kind of a weird feeling. Odie is 12 years old this year, he is growing old with us.
ReplyDeleteOdie has a buddy now, her name is "Mindy". Mindy has given Odie a new zest for life after becoming depressed. They romp and play, he is happy again.
