Last few hours...

.... before we're leaving.  Missing my son so much it hurts, and am really longing for his hugs and kisses!
See you back in London :-)

Holiday essentials

Day 11 on holiday, and there is no need for high SPF anymore :-)

Picture Perfect

Yesterday for lunch, Mum and I sat under the eucalyptus trees, in the shade, looking at the Mediterranean, ate calamari and pork skewers which we washed down with some chilled wine, at this waterfront restaurant with the beach which only 20 meters away - picture perfect indeed :-)

Hot pink

Sporting my new LV monogram denim shawl that Bear got me for my bday (originally got baby pink but changed it to a more hot pink) - perfect for adding texture & warmth for cold night sea breezes.

Not without my Mac ;-)

Time to chillax in the hotel's pool bar, and catch up on other blogs, emails and what's going on in the rest of the world.

La Belle Vie

G & T - say no more :-)

Phew, it's H.O.T!

Stocking up on water for the room, to stay hydrated in this heat

This melts my heart!

Ladies lunch in Knightsbridge

With the girlies, Andrea, Kat & Gerry, at Zuma, enjoying Billiecart-Salmon champagne (my favourite), soft shell crab, black cod, Yellowtail and other world class contemporary Japanese food.

We all agreed that the restaurant has a very seductive and flattering (once you're over 30 that is! ) lighting with it's dimly lit lamps and upscale crowd and buzzing ambiance - indeed a fabulous Friday :-)

A snippet of our morning

Good morning from Mayfair!

A Cappuccino in the sun as I'm waiting for Andrea ( and Starbucks actually got the spelling right this time :)

34 Grosvenor Square

David's pride and joy; his silver Aston Martin Rapide, was our ride for the evening, and we got a parking spot right outside!

I had my hair curled for the evening 

a cheeky ciggie!

'34' is part of the Caprice Holdings (i.e - J Sheeky, Mount Street Deli, The Ivy, Scott's etc)

Andrea and I had delicious griddled prawns for my mains, whilst the boys had a steak. However, their menu has plenty of choices to suit all pallets 

A compulsory post dinner Espresso Martini ;-)

The decor is very much like The Ivy and Sheeky, and they had a brilliant live Jazz trio playing next to the bar which I really enjoyed - A terrific Friday night if you ask me!

New, from Miu Miu :-)

For my birthday, my darling husband gave me this very pretty and classic LBD, with a sheer see-through silk ruffle on the chest (to add a little oomph!) and a detachable waist tie. 

If weather allows (to not wear tights that is), I'm thinking of wearing it tomorrow, Friday, when we are going for dinner with our good friends Andrea and David, at 34 Grosvenor Square
