It already feels like a very long time away, but just ten days ago I returned from a magical holiday in Costa Rica. I will be writing more about my travels over the coming days, but I wanted to begin by introducing you to Encantada Ocean Cottages in Esterillos, which is where we stayed towards the end of our trip…
![[AD] One of the hardest things I have found about the last year or so, is not being able to get out and explore London. It’s one of my favourite things. It fills me with excitement and the sense of possibility and opportunity. My favourite parts of London are those villages which have lovely local and independent businesses on the high street. Maybe a gorgeous coffee shop, or if you’re really lucky, a book shop… So what a treat it was to visit #WimbledonVillage a few days ago and wander the streets like a tourist - slow strolling - I felt like I was on holiday, meandering past cafes, bars, boutiques and restaurants… I also got a sneak peek at The Mansions, a fabulous collection of luxury apartments by the @berkeley_group, sitting amid swathes of green parkland a stone’s throw way from Wimbledon Village. There are lots more photos of the apartments and of Wimbledon Village itself over on my blog post - why not go for a virtual stroll yourself :) Link in my profile.](https://www.poppyloves.co.uk/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png)
