Date Night by Candlelight
Took the hubby to the Candlelight Concertos at St Martin in the Fields last night. Anyone who knows classical music should stop reading now, as I went for some of the fave tunes – bit of Air on G String, two of the Vivaldi Four Seasons, but all interespersed with various excerpts that we didn’t…

Churchill War Rooms & H Birthday Supper
Finally made it to visit the Churchill War Rooms this week. One of the ‘things we should do this coming year’ that Janine, Ross, Mr H and I make a list of on New Year’s Eve when we are generally bums-on-sofa, glass-in-hand, fire-roaring at the cottage. Poor H was stuck at work in the end,…

David & Mandy Weekend
Had the pleasure of David & Mandy staying with us this weekend – probably nicer for us than it was for them, as we have barely any kitchen installed and are making tea in the utility room and coffee in the garage at the moment! But we did have the large moment of celebration on…

Night out with the Pig Bliss
.. or the 'Big Sis', as was the word root behind this alternative nomenclature… Cathy's been over from Holland this week, sorting out stuff with her property portfolio – both of them – so Mr H & I took her out for cocktails in the village and dinner on Tues. Gave us a chance to…

England vs Italy – grazie!
Very good day out with the boys yesterday – Mr H, his brother Tom and Jules and I headed off to Twickers to see the inevitable pasting of poor Italy by the England boys in white. Started off warm, then turned flipping arctic later on, so we bolstered ourselves with the necessary quantities of beer…

Mercato Night 2
Met up with the lovely Davina & Guy, and James & Dominic, at Jules' sushi gaff in Mercato Metropolitano last night. Guy sporting facial bruises from a bike fall and Dominic with a ripped shoulder from slipping on the ice on their recent trip to north Sweden – so drinks were definitely required to oil…

Shoreditch Birds
Had a very good ‘girls’ day out in East London’ on Thursday with Janine. Partly to use my Xmas present Cowshed facial voucher and partly – just because we could! Kicked off with a very good, and extremely spicy, Thai lunch at Smoking Goat in Shoreditch followed by an amble around Old Spitalfields and…

Remind Me…
… why there is SO much stuff out of place, so many boxes and so many loo rolls that get used when builders are in your house? Roll…

Big K’s 50th
Very good night out last Friday to celebrate Big (not that she ever was!) K's impending 50th birthday. Started with my second ever Escape Room experience – this time Da Vinci themed. They are actually quite difficult but K seemed to be getting right in the swing when I snuck a sneaky photo of her…

Boy Tuesday
H and I had a very good eve out with Mark Warshaw and his fiancé Charlie this week. Kicked off on some Turmeric Twizzler cocktails that set the tone for the evening – by the time we’d worked our way through most of the drinks list at Temper, Soho, Mark for one was looking decidedly…
