Lifestyle | Foodie | Family | Bryony on Instagram: "Walking into The Savoy feels like stepping straight into London’s most glamorous time capsule. It’s been here since 1889, dreamed up by theatre producer Richard D’Oyly Carte, who decided the city needed a hotel as dramatic as his operas and he wasn’t wrong. From the glowing green sign outside to the marble columns and gold detailing inside, everything feels like it’s been designed to make you slow down and soak it all in. A few things learned while I was there: • Opened in 1889 – the first luxury hotel of its kind in Britain • The first hotel with electric lights and lifts - very high-tech for Victorian London • A favourite of Monet, Churchill, Sinatra and Marilyn Monroe - the guest list is basically a history book • A mix of Edwardian, Art Deco and theatrical design - every corner feels like a film set • Not photographed here but it's home to the iconic red lift - glossy, jewel-toned, and straight out of a Wes Anderson scene. One of the original lifts, kept beautifully preserved. • The Beaufort Bar sits on the old cabaret stage - it used to host performances! The photos don’t even cover half of it. The glowing chandeliers, the stained-glass dome, the palm trees tucked between marble columns, the wrought iron marked “1889,” the moody red-lit bar with its cheeky cocktail menu, the seasonal displays, the branded butter, the immaculate breakfast tables… Every space feels like it’s been styled with intention. Even the slippers have that signature Savoy green trim! Breakfast was its own little adventure. I tried chia seeds for the first time - gave them a fair chance but absolutely not for me. However, the egg white omelette more than made up for it - so yummy! Light, delicate, topped with microgreens… The kind of dish that looks like it’s been plated with tweezers and tastes even better than it looks. 📌 The Savoy Hotel, Strand, London, WC2R 0EZ, United Kingdom It sits right on the Strand, with its private road Savoy Court leading up to that iconic green sign. Perfectly placed between Covent Garden, the Thames and the West End. The whole place has this mix of history, theatre and quiet luxury that just wraps around you. It’s iconic for a reason."

A slow day in Moshi — street food, long walks, missed booking offices, cloud-covered views of Kilimanjaro, and a quiet evening back at the hostel.

Today I registered on Friendica.world — I’m looking for a network that lets me post a fair number of photos per post.
The last few days I’ve been washing my bag and letting it dry. Today I moved into a cheaper place, into a dorm. In the photos, you can see almost everything I own.
Wishing you all a good night from Kilimanjaro 🌙
I’d be happy to gain some followers!

Southeast Asia can feel emotionally empty at times — nightlife everywhere but real connection is rare. After a long struggle with addiction, heartbreak, and mistrust, I finally met someone who showed me something different: softness, presence, and genuine warmth.
For the first time in a long time, I felt real connection — not chaos.
It surprised me… and it’s helping me heal. https://whothefami.substack.com/p/starved-for-real-emotional-connection

Starved for Real Emotional Connection in Southeast Asia

In places like South East Asia, Thailand and even Laos, you can be starved for real emotional connection.
