A snippet of our Friday night

Happy bonfire night!

Kicking the evening up with a spicy livener in the form of a Bloody Mary, before we're heading off to a fireworks party! 

Happy Birthday little brother!

 

Happy Weekend!

I'm now off to meet my baby brother Erik.  I am taking him only around the corner from us, for Champagne Afternoon Tea at the lovely boutique hotel The Arch, to celebrate him turning 24 tomorrow - awww bless, so much younger than I (eleven years to be precise), but so much more focused and mature LOL!

Tomorrow evening we are invited to our friends' firework party and on Sunday we will be going to the Independent Schools Show, to try and find the best school possible for Sean.

Have a wonderful Friday and a fabulous weekend!

Super sushi

Today Sean and I and met up with my very dear friend Viv, seen here in her very nice silver coloured Hunter boots :-)

We went to our favourite lunch spot Itsu in Notting Hill which is their very trendy flagship restaurant  (much different to all the other small Itsu's around London) with a very good selection of low carb dishes should you not want the rolls with rice etc..

It's so good to introduce the little one's to this very light and nutritious food, and here is some of what we ordered:

smoked salmon & seared tuna 

Crab crystal rolls

Spinach in sesame sauce

Chef's special scallops wasabi green peas

Vietnamese chili prawn

Breakfast & the BBC radio

This morning Bear and I had our usual breakfast at The Portman, only today he was interrupted half way through by BBC Radio who did a live interview with him over the phone regarding bankers against the Archbishop of Canterbury and the protesters outside St Paul's Cathedral.  Proud of my man to say the least! :-)

Winter warmers

As November now has approached, and that noticeable chill in the air -  it's time to get my knitwear and other winter warmer's out. Here are my top ones that I dug out this morning: 


cashmere earmuffs 
vintage fur headband
 wool and cashmere blend cardi
silk and wool shawl
