A weekend to remember- Finally!

FRIDAY:

So it’s very easy to forget your weekend if you have a boozy one (like most weekends)! So this weekend I really appreciated spending time with really good people and eating really great food. It started on a Friday after work when I headed to the Apex Temple court Hotel in London for a friend’s birthday. We enjoyed champagne and Canapés and minis cakes in the Hotel lobby bar. We stayed for a couple of hours and then made our way to the Blues brother’s sing-along screening at the Prince Charles cinema in

Leicester Square. It was nice to do something a little bit different on a Friday night rather than go out and drink 10 pints and feel terrible the next day. Everyone at the screening dressed up as the Blues brothers and it impressed me how much effort they all went to.

SATURDAY:

Saturday was great because my friend Matteo and planned to have a pig out night and watch girly movies and chill out at home. Ribs, chicken wings, wine, Chocolate and face masks was the theme. Matteo also has introduced a heart of Dixy to me and now I’m obsessed!!!

SUNDAY:

Funny story about Sunday… I am currently in the process of moving from my apartment in Clapham Junction to Joes in Fulham. So there I was catching the bus with my big travel backpack and several other carry bags only to realise that the Chelsea Football club were  march to celebrate them winning the champion league. It was Chaotic to say the least! The bus got diverted and dropt me right in the middle of the entrance to the parade and I had to walk through the whole thing to get to Joes. Although it was a horrible scenario I actually enjoyed the spirit of a community getting together to celebrate and cheer for their team.

The Saatchi Gallery

Mum is always reminding me that I should always take the time to do something cultural while I’m in London. And it’s not that I don’t make the effort to go out and do things every weekend, but when it’s raining and cold out it gets very easy to stay in and watch movies. It happened to be a raining all of the long weekend. But we took our umbrellas and went to rough it in the rain, we walked from Fulham to Chelsea Kings road to visit the Saatchi Gallery. I’m so glad we did make the effort because it had turned out to be a lovely Gallery that catered for all. The actual gallery itself was a great space, with high ceilings and masses of sunlight shining through the sky lights. It truly was a positive space to go and have a browse and clear your head.

Here are a few pieces that had caught my eye:
