Small is the new big ;-)

Oh my goodness, I am utterly in love with this pink mini Boy bag! 

Swedish glögg party!

Life Lately

We spent 24 hours at The Grove Hotel and spa - a treat for the whole family

My Mum arrived....

....and so did our made to order trunk coffee table, after nearly six(!) months wait! 

We had dinner in the newly opened and very good tapas restaurant on Crawford street called "Twist"

My much loved and missed pearl necklace came back in my possession after spending some time with my Mum in Sweden ;-)

Bear and I had our annual long boozy lunch at Scott's (I ate griddled prawns with creamed spinach), whilst mum babysat the kids

Mount street during Christmas is turned in to a romantic candle lit village and here we are sitting at  Scott's outdoor table by the large heaters drinking champagne and minced pies

Sean had a sleep-over at Erik and John's place

Andrea and I were invited to Louis Vuitton's so called "Apartment" (located above the flag ship store on New Bond Street) for some champers and nibbles

I had lunch with girlfriends (including Scarlett Grace!) at our fave hangout Cecconi's that was bustling with people as usual

Gerry visited

Munchie turned 11 months

My handsome little fella!

Erik and John came over for dinner. I cooked a lentil soup which was appreciated by everyone :-)

I had my eyebrows trimmed at Blink bar in Selfridges with the threading technique 

Post shopping lunch at The Polo bar in The Westbury Hotel Mayfair

Annual Xmas lunch at Scott's

24 hours of bliss ahead of us!

We have arrived (40 minutes taxi ride from our central London flat) in Hertfordshire, and are now checked in to country house estate hotel and spa, The Grove.  Really pleased with our spacious room as I love French doors that lets in so much natural light, and of course our balcony :-) Taking Sean swimming in the children's indoor pool next. Tomorrow I've got spa treatments booked as the children are in the kids club.

Last Sunday

Last Sunday we were invited to our friends' (Andrea and David that is!) beautiful house, for what now has become a yearly tradition. 

It includes spending all day there helping out decorating their Christmas tree, drinking lots of bubbly, chatting laughing and eating a delicious home-made five course meal :-)

Eleven months

..and always on a mission!

Perfect packaging

You've gotta love their pretty packaging!
