Prosecco in the Park

Anyone who knows' me is fully aware of how big fan of antipasti and prosecco I am! After the seedy Friday night past, I organised an outing on Sunday, and ventured over to Victoria Park for a picnic with Camille and Stu.

Camille is a fantastic Chicky babe, I have known her since I moved to Sydney in 2007! Truly one of my first friends I made out of my home town. My dad told me that if I joined a class I would make some friends, and he was right I started an event management class an now we have been friends for almost 5 years!

Anyways after a bit of miss direction on google maps and using a pin drop on our Iphones we headed down with our little picnic of yummy goods, ignoring the weather forecast of thunder and heavy rain, and braved the day outside. We found a great spot near  a community group holding games and a competition in the park, It looked like heaps of fun, they even had the old school RnB tunes pumping. We may or may not have been doing a bit of the equivalent of chair dancing on a picnic mat!

Camille made us some yummy snacks, water crackers, basil pesto. salami Camembert, tomato and baby spinach. Yummo! Thanks for the great day pretty :)  xx

Friday Nights in East London

Last night, after a long boring day doing data entry, I rendezvoused with my glamorous friend Helen, and we had some very delicious cocktails at Jamie Oliver's bar and restaurant Fifteen.

It was great venue, beautiful space, with a big pizza oven enticing you in. We sat on the lounges and relaxed with a couple £5 @ 5 cocktails. I had a delicious Aperol drink that was very refreshing and mind numbing after a long day!  After the 3rd one I did feel a bit light headed, after a quick stop to the ladies and a freshen up using some Penhaligons hand soap and luxurious moisturiser I was ready to go again ....the night was still young!

Afterwards we decided to walk towards Hoxton Square, we took a "short-cut" and happened to walk past this interesting looking space filled with a mix of eclectic furnishings and art. Being nosey (and a little tipsy) we looked through the window and a young man came out, and asked if we would like to go inside and have a look. " Sure why not?" was the agreed answer. The space turned out to be The Trampery,  a collaborative workspace, filled with technology innovators. After a cheeky chat and some business details being exchanged, we where back on our way, and with the added benefit of a free beer each! Talk about Serendipity!

We then wandered down to Hoxton square, settled ourselves in with a bottle of prosecco, and some merry conversations served from what looked like the hat from the monopoly set. ( I wish I took a photo, silly girl). Afterwards, we wandered to a local bottle shop, found yet another bottle of prosecco, and the cutest baby bottle of Chambord, a quick shimmy over to the park, we caught with some of Helen's friends and lazed around boozing and listening to a short film plot.
A true East London experience! Good times! :)

We all start somewhere

After months of talking about putting a blog up, I finally got my act together and did it.
It took, one big night, one sore head and cornflakes with strawberry yoghurt in bed (not a nice combo) but I got here in the end!

So what will my blog be about? Good question! A combination of Friends, Food & Fun times! Also I feel my garden will make an appearance, I am rather proud of my tomato plant!

Happy Reading Kids
