One of the things I love about Southampton is that it's such a liveable city. You can walk it in a day, and it's not super-city-expensive to eat and drink (like London). Southampton compared to London, actually reminds me of Philadelphia compared to New York. I dig its vibes. We've been talking about making it our next home, since Steve's business has him travelling down there quite a bit these days. I'd love one of those new flats overlooking the water, but we haven't won the lottery yet.
We stopped for a meat-free lunch at a French bistro, because I needed somewhere to sit and feed Chloe and the menu was perfect for today's weather. I had a Niçoise salad and Steve had a veggie-laden frenchbread "pizza". All in all our meal was like, £8, another testament to how affordable (food-wise) Southampton is as a city. I mean, sure, you have your fancier restaurants, but it has a ton of "everyday" sorts of places too.
Our whole purpose for going out today was to have a browse around IKEA, and I came across these chocolatey amazeballs. 4 of them are gone as I write this, and no, I haven't shared.
I think today solidified the idea that we want to get a baby carrier for Chloe. We splashed out on a sling before she was born, but she's not a massive fan of it. She really likes to sit up and look around (little miss inquisitive!) and we think something like a Baby Björn would be perfect. If you have a carrier recommendation, let me know in the comments!
