Wendy Loves...The William Morris Gallery

I've been wanting to take a visit to the William Morris Gallery for a while, but after my first attempt ended in a nightmare journey only to find the gallery closed, its taken me a while to muster up the energy to try again! But I am very glad a did, as my visit this weekend was fab. If you're not sure who he is, William Morris was a designer, most famous for his wallpaper and textile designs, and founder of the Arts & Crafts movement. I am obsessed with his beautiful designs, and dream of filling my house with Morris prints!

The gallery itself can be found a short walk away from Walthamstow Central station, in the house where Morris grew up. I gather that it's recently been re-done after winning the Art Fund Museum of the Year Prize in 2013. Well, they've certainly put the money to good use! Everything was beautifully displayed, with fun interactive games and even better, a good gift shop! For Morris fans or just lovers of all this beautiful, the William Morris Gallery is the perfect day out. The gardens are gorgeous too, so try and go on a sunny day to appreciate the full beauty!

Any other Morris geeks out there? Have you ever been to the William Morris Gallery? I'd love to hear what it was like before the re-vamp!

Love, Wendy

Pizza & Friends

I think I've found the best pizza place ever.

A big statement I know, but after a trip with some friends last week, my new foodie discovery 'Franco Manca' has definitely impressed. Not only are the staff lovely, the pizza AMAZING but the prices are equally appealing. (I actually found out about it while flipping through 'Time Out Londons's Top 100 Cheap Eats'.)

Franco Manca prides itself on it's fresh ingredient and sourdough bases. You can either choose a ready made pizza from the menu (I went for a number 6: tomato, chorizo and mozzarella FYI) or you can create your owning by adding a bunch of the delicious toppings. My friend went for butternut squash. Butternut squash on a pizza? Weird, but wonderful.

Franco Manca is a delicious and as a meal for under a tenner makes it very student friendly evening out.
We went to the Balham branch, but there are also branches in Tottenham Court Road, Brixton, Chiswick, Northcote, Westfields and Broadway Market. Be sure to check it out!
