Same due date!

My really good friend Anna who is also pregnant and miraculously have the same due date as I!

We regularly meet up for play dates with Sean and Nick, but now we also share pregnancy tips and experiences which is extra nice :-)

First we went to the hospital where Anna had an antenatal appointment, we then treated our boys to a happy meal and ice cream in McDonalds (which btw had a very funky wall paper, don't you think?!) 

Country bumpkin or city slicker?

For weeks Andrea and I have been looking online at properties in Beaconsfield, and last week we arranged an appointment with the estate agent who's been assisting us.

So yesterday Sean and I got on the train from Marylebone to Beaconsfield where Andrea picked us up in her car. First we had brunch at Beech House, which was recommended to us, and then the viewings began.

The train journey itself only took an incredible 22(!) minutes from the west end of London to leafy Buckinghamshire,  and for the same price as the Marylebone Village mews house that we've been to see several times recently, this is what we would get:

Well the big question remains; do we pack up and leave central London for more space, with another baby on the way?! Country bumpkin or city slicker? Only time will tell.... ;-)

Cecconi's

Andrea and I had a girly afternoon yesterday with shopping and giggles around Bond Street, then a celebratory lunch in one of our favourite Mayfair hang out spots, Cecconi's,

Sunday barbecue

What better way to spend the hottest day of the year eating, drinking wine and chatting away with good friends in their beautifully manicured garden, whilst watching the kids play? 

Lunch in the sun

Snippets of our Bank Holiday Weekend

Our packed weekend, from top to bottom: A day at leisure at our country club Stoke Park,  local lunch in Marylebone at Briciole (not to be recommended as it's overpriced with very small portions!),  Dinner and drinks at newly opened hotel Melia that has one of best rooftop terraces, with the most incredible views over London's skyline, lunch on the canal in Little Venice during the canalway festival, and last but not least; barbecue at our friends' house, with several generations and plenty of vino flowing - Needless to say there was lot's to talk about over the sizzling steaks :-)

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 :-)
