HOWEVER, Raya seems so happy and at ease with life even with all the mountains and mole hills of parenting. It’s beautiful to watch 2 lovely people blossom even more in their new chapter. So so happy for you both! 🩵

    did some light research because you mentioned a vegan Terry's orange and I thought I had heard of a plant based bar and I did find something! It's called "terry's chocolate orange bar plant based." It does seem to be sold in the UK so might be worth hunting for! :) I am still absolutely in love with these vlogs! make sure you both are taking care of yourselves too though

    This video is so fun! I loved seeing it all! The last time that i was in London was 23 years ago! I went to the tower bridge area to sight see. My husband was there on business for his company, so we were there for three months. I walked every where and loved the wonderful public transportation in England. It was an fun experience since i grew up in Southern California. The food is better than when we were there. The best food that we had eaten was the Indian food. The worst food was a Chinese restaurant that we thought would be really special since we had to wait for an hour to get seated it was so popular, but the food was horrid! It was oily, mushy and everything tasted the same! My favorite thing to eat was the potato and onion hand pies. I could eat while I walked. There was no London Eye, but my favorite place that I had visited was the design museum when it was in the Shad Thames area on the south bank of the River Thames.
