... eat Italian ~ there's a fantastic restaurant just around the corner from Harrods in Knightsbridge called ... umm, ah, oh god what's it called? I'll have to ring my mum and get back to you on the name. But if you're standing looking at the front of Harrods turn right and walk along the street in front of the store and then take the first turning left (at the end of the building - Hans Road I think??) and the restaurant is 100 yards down on the right! Incredible spaghetti carbonara, amazing veal with sage & masala, velvety zabaglione. [What do you know - good old Google (who by the way is celebrating his/her 7th birthday today .... Happy Birthday big G!) - the restaurant is Zia Teresa .... sometimes the Internet is a fab place to be!]
... holiday ~ last November Kent County Council and the British Council paid for me and 22 other teachers from Kent to go to Durban in South Africa ... all in the name of International Professional Development you understand. It was an incredible week - I saw things, visited places, met people that the normal tourist will never ever see and I would really love to go back as the "holiday" part of my trip was just as fantastic! I'd love to take Simon so he could see the things I described, visit the places and meet some new friends I made!
... sleep ~ my bed, super king size with a deluxe mattress. Bliss! However ... I wouldn't say no to one of these ... my friend Kev, in his new job as an accomodation inspector said "Oh my god, I'm lying on the most comfortable bed EVER!" [He was staying in a small hotel in Torquay doing an inspection ... I was GUTTED that it wasn't more Fawlty Towers :o) ]
... buy chocolate ~ Rococo in London's Kings Road. Please, please, please promise me that the next time you're in London, you'll go just to smell the shop and you'll try their organic dark chocolate with chilli.
... watch the world go by ~ it's a bit twee, but on the morning of my 23rd birthday I had coffee and pain au chocolat in a cafe on the Champs d'Elysee - the sun was shining, it was already hot at 10am. The breakfast cost an absolute fortune £15 each *coughs* 13 years ago but it was wonderful. We sat for an hour and soaked in the "where" and watched Parisians and tourists (actually probably more tourists than Parisians as they are all in Provence by mid August!) do "metro-boulot-dodo" aka the daily grind ~ see it sounds better in French doesn't it?

My favourite place to read is sitting under the shade sail in my parents' back yard. They've got a huge lawn surrounded with shrubs and trees, beyond that is rolling green pastures and beyond that again are bush-clad hills.
And there's nobody around for miles!
So peaceful...
Katya - Bluewater has a bear factory ... I took my nephews last time they were here, the 5 year old went gaga!!
Fi - *breathes deeply, eyes closed* sounds fab - why is it when I was younger I didn't appreciate peace like I do know?
hiya, i'm moving my blog from tomorrow to

The food is brill they batter courgettes in a really light batter that melts in your mouth when you try to eat them...mmmmmmm and a seafood lasagne to go batty over...mmmmmmmmmmm
...Holiday Have been to Spain and love the hot dry climate. But not a fan of the sand. We love exploring the locality rather than sitting sun worshipping. I also got to go to Belgium on a work thingy a couple of years ago. WE were there for a week. I would like to go back and explore more. It was all very quaint and the buildings....WOW
