Homunculus

Homunculus (masculine, Latin for "little man", plural: "homunculi"; from the diminutive of homo) is a term used, generally, in various fields of study to refer to any representation of a human being. In current context, in scientific fields, a homunculus may refer to any scale model of the human body that, in some way, illustrates physiological, psychological, or other abstract human characteristics or functions.

Kew gardens & the Rhizotron and Xstrata Treetop Walkway

I finaly manage to drag my behind out to Kew gardens, I was a bit concerned that I might have left it a bit late for the year, considering that the season has more or less changed over to winter now, but it was still able to keep interest for a day. I really do prefer living in the big city compared to the countryside but I miss nature sometimes so this is a good substitute.

I feel almost kinda weirdly jelous of the huge, victorian greenhouses with their caged rainforests. I want one of those!

 My bangs have grown too long again, I can't make up my mind how to wear my hair so for now I'll just braid it out of my way...

I had been looking forward to the treetop walkway since forever.

I'm definetley going to have to give it a re-visit in spring to see it clad in greenery.

There's something surreal and slightly magical about stroling around in the canopy compleatley unbothered.

Local flavour

I've been traveling around town for my flavour fix, only to find the best Japanese resturant so far just down the street on Baker street. You live and you learn.

Autumn wine

Autumn is lasting so long here in London and I couldn't be happier about it.

Autumn is my favourite time of the year with it's bright colours and just the right temperature to justify layers and knits.

I spend long afternoons at cafés, warming my hands on the cup of a sweet, creamy latte or reading in one of the many parks and life just feels perfect.

I feel inspired to do about a million things, including trying a new lipstick.
