Notting Hill Carnival

As a photographer, a mass gathering like this is an endless opportunity to have some great shots. As a nature lover, who enjoys the endless view, the feeling of freedom… it’s a nightmare. We didn’t spend too much time in the crowd (it wasn’t even our main destination, as we were just walking along the…

The empty riverbed – hiking to the source of the Thames River

This weekend we went to the source of the Thames River. It was a 12 miles hike from Criclade but we had to walk back and forth because we had to go back to our car. On the first day we walked from Cricklade to Ashton Keynes then we stayed in Cirencester. The accommodation wasn’t…

Bamburgh Castle

I’ve wanted to visit this beautiful castle since watching The Last Kingdom on Netflix. This is the famous Bebbanburg what Uhtred wanted to recapture so badly during the whole series. It was absolutely worth the 3-hour long drive from the Lake District.

The top of England: Scafell Pike

We love hiking and we love the mountains. We were in Lake District, Scafell Pike is there too, so… ๐Ÿ˜€ We climbed the three peaks (ok, not in 24 for hours, but a little bit more than a year). Our favourite is Ben Nevis, the second is Scafell Pike and the bronze medalist is Snowdon…

Lake District, my favourite type of summer holiday, part 1

The second we arrived it started to rain. Heavily….

Liverpool: a friendly game at Anfield

First of all, we do not talk about the result… ๐Ÿ˜€ It was a tight schedule for us. After Amsterdam, we went back to Budapest, collected our babies teenagers (ok, Balint is not a teenager but sometimes I feel he is) and flew back to London. I was pretty nervous due to the news of…

Amsterdam – our first holiday without the boys

after 3 years… Before Covid, we had a short holiday just the two of us every year. Then, we moved to London, Covid came and we didn’t go anywhere. Our time has finally arrived this summer. We dropped the kids off in Hungary (with grandparents) and flew to Amsterdam the next day. The first day…

Greenwich, Emirates Cable Car (again)

Now, as I have time (I am a couch potato thanks to Covid, I have no energy but am bored as hell) to run through my old pictures, I found some lovely memories. In May our friends from Hungary visited us for a long weekend so we turned the touristy mode on and went to…
