Last week's sleep over at Erik and JJ's new flat in Mile End

A typical high fat fuller for longer lunch for me, here's yesterday's brussel sprouts and crispy pancetta

Lunch Bunch

Snaps from Saturday at the Ivy Cafe St Johns Wood

Happy Friday!

YESTERDAY: Mum, the kids and I went for lunch at Natural Kitchen on Baker Street (they do a fab bunless burger).

TODAY: I had mashed avocado with chili flakes on a low carb bread for brunch and I put up a new framed Scandinavia poster as I sang along to this tune. 

TOMORROW: We are having lunch with Andrea, David and all the kids at The Ivy Cafe in St Johns Wood (booked table no 40 which seats 8 people).

Yesterday

 Yesterday the kids and I jumped on the train from Marylebone Station to my Mums in Amersham. Sean's friends Nicole and Amelia (two local girls that he has befriended), came around, and we all had lunch together. I later went back home with Scarlett Grace as Sean will be staying with his grandma until Thursday. I can't begin to express my gratitude that my Mum is the same country let alone only a short journey from us. 💕

Fab Five - Inside Info

A very excited Little Madam this morning in our downstairs garage, as we were heading off to Holiday Academy in Primrose Hill 

1 - What am I currently doing: Planning our New York itinerary - only 15 more sleeps yay!

2 - My musical tastes range from: 60s to electro & house - Currently on repeat is this brand new tune with Katy Perry feat Skip Marley (yes, Bob's grandson).

3 - Worst job I've ever done: Working in 'Factory Outlet' on Hounslow High Street in the changing rooms (during my first year in London 1996). I had to stand up from 9am-9pm and I still have nightmares about the pain in my feet!

4 - Last film that made me cry: The Good Dinosaur - there is a scene that tackles the death of a parent-subject (in this case Arlo's poppa).  It was so sad it had both Sean and I in tears!

5 - Plan for Half Term? Kids are at the Holiday Academy  a couple of days ( this is the first time they can attend together, as the minimum age is 3), and Sean will also go and stay with Grandma in Amersham two nights.

This week in pictures

Bear and I were invited to an 'Open Morning' at Queens College Prep School (we were very impressed!) - a girls only school from the age of 4, where Scarlett Grace has been on a waiting list since she was a couple of months old. 

I went to a workshop at the flagship Apple Store on Regent Street called "organise your photos".

The kids had their desk delivered 

We celebrated Bear's birthday at a Peruvian hotspot in Mayfair on Thursday 

 Keeping it shrimple ;-) We stayed until midnight and then ended the evening at The Arts Club

On Saturday we celebrated Andrea's boy Harry's 7th bday with cake and bowling in North London. 

And we wrapped up the week today at Cote Brassiere with a family lunch.

Green Cola 🌿

This new Green Cola does not contain aspartame, but the natural Stevia sweetener (that has no effect on the blood glucose) instead.

 I will definitely replace the Diet Coke with this - 5 stars from me! *****
