Quarter Century Celebrations

With a holiday, exams and a change of job location the beginning of September was a bit of a crazy month. My birthday celebrations were put on hold until I could scramble together some last minute birthday plans.  I am now officially in my mid-20's, which is mildly terrifying  and very exciting at the same time as I am in a very happy and content position in my life. 

I decided to celebrate my quarter century with a sumptuous dinner at the Cavalry and Guards Club, Piccadilly surrounded by 10 of my most favourite people. We started with a pre-dinner G+T in the bar and then wandered slowly up the wonderful staircase to the dining room. 

After a delicious dinner we headed back to the bar for a few more drinks. AN and I didn't have too far to go as we could walk back up the winding staircase to our plush white bed to sleep of the champagne. I think this may be the start of a new birthday tradition.....

Thanks you all for celebrating with me!

Bank Holiday Weekend!

The only thing better than a weekend, is a bank holiday weekend! Three whole days of fun, sunshine, friends, lazy lie-ins and pure relaxation. Sadly the sunshine was rather shy this past bank holiday but it did nothing to dampen the holiday spirits. 

AN and I started our weekend in style in Mayfair with a delicious dinner in a beautiful ballroom, complete with not one dessert, but a whole trolley of desserts! The evening was made even better when we could just walk up the stairs with our full tummies and collapse of a soft and squishy bed with the cosiest duvet and good book. 

Saturday morning started in the way that all Saturdays should, with a never ending breakfast spread, a full pot of tea and table covered in newspapers. We made sure to eat plenty and stock up, preparing for the day ahead and AN's annual shopping trip. Once a year AN braves the shops and re-stocks his wardrobe from top to bottom. A day not for the faint-hearted and not to undertaken on an empty stomach!

A quick walk through the pretty streets of Mayfair and we came face to face with Bond street and Oxford street. A quick pitstop to Selfridge's food hall was required where we re-fuelled with a cupcake and a milkshake. The sweetie hall was almost too exciting for my little heart to handle!

On Saturday evening we braved a comedy club for the first time and were happy to find that our expectations were far exceeded! Too funny for photos....oops. 

Sundays are for strolling Spitelfield's market with family and friends, shopping for bowlers hats, vegan chocolate cake and handmade jewellery. Not only did I sample my first taste of greek food (delicious!) but I also stepped foot into a hipster East London coffee shop for the first time. Truly a day of firsts! 

We rounded off a busy weekend with a Monday brunch with the beautiful MW and slightly hungover TR and ON, followed by a walk along the river. AN was in his element sitting in the sun watching the boats take to the water. 

Sadly, even with a three day weekend, the weekend was over too soon. Bring on the next one! 

Mood - contented.
