Lady’s Guide to a Day Out in Dulwich

Every time I think I’ve seen all of London, someone mentions a neighborhood I’ve never been to. Today it’s Dulwich, a place I vaguely know is south of the river and home to a famous museum. Excited to discover more of the city, I head off to Victoria station and hop on a train for a day out in Dulwich.

Lady’s Guide to a Hunt Ball in Scotland

A few months ago my boyfriend invited me to a hunt ball in Scotland. I had no idea what that meant, but I said yes. After all, I’ve been an expat long enough to know how to smile and nod like a pro, then Google it later. Upon researching, I found out that hunt balls are festive evenings that take place throughout the UK to raise money for fox hunts. Controversial (I love foxes! They’re so cute!), but I love a good party (foxes do eat babies, after all). Squashing my conscience, I affirmed my positive response.
