Sick of every weekend being spent
recovering from Friday night drinks on an empty stomach followed by laundry, I
am embarking on the challenge of filling every Sunday with something fun. Cue delicious food, city walks and hidden spots. I am determined to return to work,
feeling like I have had a proper weekend, without breaking the bank.
I met a couple of friends at Caravan, King's Cross. Yes, I have written about this food joint before but they have opened
another one. Last time was dinner in Exmouth market, this time was brunch in
King’s X. I can't stay away.

| Pear + Blackberry Daiquiri |
It was the first weekend that felt truly
wintery so I embraced the chill with a seasonal pear and blackberry daiquiri.
Like its East London sister, Caravan knows how to brand itself. While I
sipped my cocktail at the bar while we waited for our table, I marveled at the
attention to detail. From the glass walls that look through to the new Saint Martin’s
building to the beautiful logo stamped everywhere (including our queue number
on a wee coffee bean bag).
Always on the hunt for the best brunch,
Caravan is definitely up there. I ate poached eggs on St John’s Bakery sour
dough toast with aubergine puree, yoghurt, sumac, and satsouki sausage (7.5).
It was recommended by the waitress and she was right. The aubergine puree
tasted like baba ganoush and spiced up the eggs. The beef sausage
was perhaps a tad too salty but it went down well with coffee, (they have their
own rotisserie dontcha know!).

| Camden Canal |
Feeling full, we walked off brunch with a
wonder down the canal towards Camden. A swan, three geese and a cat later we
ended up in The Edinboro Castle garden, keeping warm with perhaps a slightly premature
mulled wine. A Perfect day with a capital P.
