Better late than never!

Sorry, we are a bit late with our blog. It's been a busy few days!

London was great, a whistle stop tour, but great. We wanted to visit the REN shop but after wandering around Liverpool Street for about 45 minutes we decided to press on to Holland Park and checkout the Dr Hauschka store. Now, you would imagine that you'd get off the tube at Holland Park, come up onto the high street and there would be the Dr Hauschka store. Wrong! After a number of tense phone calls to my husband (at work on multi-map) we arrive at the store, which is in the middle of a residential area. Not another shop insight. The store is small, calm and has everything Dr Hauschka, Wala and Liv organics have to offer. Fay and I stock all of the Dr Hauschka range in store but were really interested in the Wala natural toothpastes and mouth washes. They didn't disappoint and we're pleased to say that they will be in The Nice Cream Company very soon.

After a stressful morning of navigation we popped into Carluccio's for a large glass of Rose and a bowl of delicious pasta.

To avoid a repeat of the mornings disaster we hopped into a taxi and headed to the Kings Road to checkout the Korres store. The shop was fantastic. We could have spent the whole afternoon in there (in fact, we almost did). The staff were friendly, helpful and couldn't wait to take a look at The Nice Cream Company website. We came away with new friends and a date for a Korres Makeover day at The Nice Cream Company (watch this space for further info).

Jobs all completed (and a small amount of shopping carried out) we headed to our hotel. Of course it wasn't the boutique hotel we had been promised, but it was central and had a couple of beds so we were happy.

In the evening we met up with a couple of friends at Crazy Bear and had a great night. Good food, good wine and good company. Shame the same can't be said for the journey home!

With love
Nicola & Fay
