Happy Valentine's

 

Hubby spiced up my day with a ring, one hundred red roses and perfume :-)


What a grand thing to be loved! Better still, what a grander thing to love, isn't it? 

Happy Valentine's Day to you all!

Good morning Praha!

Prague bound!

We've arrived in the Czech Republic capital earlier good times with great friends :-)

Hot stone massage

Tuesday Treat!

Yesterday I went for an hour's hot stone massage here in a Marylebone salon, which was heavenly! The feeling of the warm and smoothed, weighted stones really relaxed my overworked muscles, by increasing blood flow/circulation.The only thing I regret is not trying it sooner :-) 

Little House, Mayfair

With my Mum arriving on Friday, we left Sean in good hands for the night

I wore my lucky jeans (always had a blast when wearing them, hence calling them that!) and my new over the knee stiletto boots that Bear got me for Christmas

Champagne is served in crystal glasses in the private club, Little House - love it!

A cheeky ciggie outside on the corner of Curzon Street, which is also good for people watching

We always have a right laugh when we get together, and Friday was no different!

We had booked a table for six, for Andrea, David, Kat, Tim, myself and hubby. I had my usual breaded veal which is delish!

We later moved to the lounge area by the log fire to have so post dinner drinks 

Pretty steady on our feet me thinks, as we came home after midnight:-)

And so she's back!!

Passion for pink! Mum looking beautiful in her new cerise quilted jacket from Barbour that i got her :-)

Today we are out and abt in town viewing more properties for sale, starting with one on Portland Place.

Destiny's Child is back!

This brand new (Pharrell Williams produced) tune with Destiny's child is pumping out loud in our flat this Saturday morning - love it!   Off to the Apple Store on Regent Street soon followed by a lunch somewhere nearby in Mayfair. Tonight's plan is is dinner, dancing with live music and belly dancers with friends :-)

Marking 6 years with Bear :-)

Friday Flowers
 Today I got a big bunch of beautiful flowers from Bear (and a love letter too, but it wouldn't be fair to post that!) to mark our anniversary. Not wedding anniversary but six years ago, to this very day,  is when Bear and I met for the very first time - 25th January 2007 - at Starbucks in Holborn.... We've sure come a long way since then ;-)

I love you wholeheartedly Bear!
Forever and Ever

Healthy Espresso Martini

Finally I received the sugar free Kahlua syrup (after months of waiting as it's been out of stock)! I am a massive lover of Espresso Martinis, but the calorie and sugar content is quite high in them which can leave you feeling slightly guilty after indulging in a few -  Well, until now that is! 

Instead of adding the usual vanilla/and or chocolate liqueur like Galliano, Tia Maria or Baileys, I put the sugar free Kahlua which makes an absolutely delicious coffee cocktail, tasting just as the usual Espresso Martini, only much healthier :-)

Monday music

There's nothing like a little bit of drum and bass to pick yourself up when you're feeling down

Snowy Sunday

Last time we had settling white powder in the capital was around the beginning of last year, so guess if lil man (well.. mummy and daddy too!) were excited when we woke up yesterday morning, peaked out the window and saw thick snow?! 

Its a very rare sight in central London! 

We wrapped up warm, put on Sean his ski suit and and packed him off into the snow... and boy what a delightfully fun afternoon we had :-) Oh, see if you can spot the vintage classic Jaguar covered in snow - stunning isn't' it?!  

Mount Street Mayfair

Today Kat, Andrea and I  had a mixture of oysters, griddles prawns and dressed crab - seafood at it's best :-)

Scott's, set on Mount Street in the heart of Mayfair, just between Louboutin and Balenciaga - it simply just can't get any better than that :-)

It offers exceptional seafood and if you haven't tried this one before, you dont' know what your missing! Be prepared for a fairly hefty price tag, but it's so worth every penny! 

Me and my girls loves to come here for not just the food but for the uber friendly doorman, the stunning Oyster bar and having your glass refilled with bubbles without you even noticing LOL

The art deco décor  is inspiring ,and you are always bound to do some celebrity spotting. (today we sat next to TV cook and kitchen goddess Nigella Lawson and her very famous husband - head of global advertising agency Saatchi and Saatchi)

Its a decadent place and I can happily spend all afternoon doing this with my girlies (which I did LOL!)

Relevant Rap!

This 'Motherhood' video made to promote the new Fiat 500L cracked me up!  Check it out, and give yourself a good laugh to beat the Monday blues! :-)

A family affair

Despite today's  harsh (cold and windy!) weather, we headed out for a mission to find Sean a pair of trainers and to grab some lunch

Sean starts junior football on Monday with a coach from Little Kickers, hence the need to get him the right footwear. 

New and noteworthy handbag - hurray for grey :-)

My morning so far

A kiss good bye at the school gate
- Today it was finally cold enough (-1) to wear my cable knit fur pom pom hat I got for xmas,  for the school run :-)

My favourite low carb brekkie
- Once back after dropping Sean, I did 75 x 12kg kettle bell swings followed by a cheese and mushroom omelette.  Lunch in Chipotle with Andrea later :-)
