I indulged in my favourite fish Lemon Sole - its good for the soul 

Coffee served in a stylish silver pot in the newly opened local restaurant 

We moved on for drinkies at Chiltern Firehouse

Compliments from the chef!  That's two cakes in one afternoon :-)

Bear and the kids joined us after school finished

Children are an asset, not a burden - and we take them everywhere with us! (despite everyone saying this place is not child friendly..)

The courtyard with its buzzy atmosphere is perfect spot for celebrations I think and the pics speaks for themselves..

I went to stay over at Mums on Friday where we met up with our local friends in the pub

Still not happy about that swap LOL! 

After shopping in town, I stopped and enjoyed live music by very talented musicians at Oxford Circus 

Latest from Louis Vuitton

This seasons must-have"Cliff Top Sneakers"

I was lucky enough to get my hands on the very last pair available in the whole of the UK and Europe's online store too (note sold out in all sizes!) - I love wedge trainers that oozes style as well as comfort and gives you that extra height. Also, they are perfect for strolling around in central London, for the school run and lately I've worn them going out for dinner with jeans and a blazer too :-)

Whirlwind week

I had my first iced coffee of the year

We viewed a 3-bed mews house with outside space and garage, that is now up for sale in Marylebone (No 19 end of terrace, as in above pic) 

I went to Sexy Fish yet again...

This time Kat joined me and Gerry

I wore my new sheer white long sleeved top from ASOS

I watched the sibling bond growing stronger and stronger 

I dug out my navy blue blazer with anchor buttons 

My little trooper ❤
Scarlett Grace tripped and cut her lip, smashed her nose and injured her eye, but still managed to crack a smile

Video clip of Scarlett Grace that I can watch over and over again

East End Boys And West End Girls

On Sunday the whole family gathered in Bow/Mile End in the East of London to view a showroom of a flat that Erik and John are in the process of buying. It's a new-built with completion in June, has got two bedrooms and a large balcony.  And needless to say, we made sure to suss out where the local pub was, and tried out their Sunday roast too :-)
