Flying solo for the first time in the UK, Zadie Xa is showcasing her sensational work in Battersea’s Pump House Gallery until 24th September.

The Conch, Sea Urchin and Brass Bell will encompass various elements of creativity and craftsmanship to display Xa’s exploration of identity through her Korean roots and her western culture. This exhibition will play on many of our senses and will blur the line between truth and reality. Timeout hit the nail on the head by saying: ‘It’s an open embrace in a world of closed borders. If you’re going to have a melting pot, it might as well overflow.’

The day is finally here people, National Burger Day. That’s right, on August 24th the humble burger will be celebrated nationwide. In London we are not short of options on the burger front, every topping and filling imaginable is available: peanut butter, caramelised pineapple and gravy soaked bread, the list goes on.

Even though you can pimp your burger with whatever your heart desires, I can’t help going back to basics and enjoying a classic patty with lettuce, tomato and all the gherkins. However, I could almost be swayed by this Jude’s Ice Cream Burger - http://bit.ly/2g4YYo2 - because who doesn’t love ice cream?

What will you be chowing down on this National Burger Day?

‘I am alone at home, I built a fire, the first one we’ve had in the new house and it feels like a small betrayal to have done it without you. I woke up this morning to thunderstorms and in the afternoon went back to bed, laying on my back and listening to the creaking in my head.’
