There’s an awesome food market on the second Wednesday of the month through Summer in Portman Square gardens. As it’s just round the corner from work, we’ve been gradually testing out the various food styles. This month I had fish and chips, and it was deeeeeelicious!
June is the month of Street Parties in Belgravia, we started with Elizabeth Street party where Henry and I sipped on complimentary expensive champagne in the Thomas Cubitt, and chowed down on complimentary pork belly burgers. YUM! Now that is my kinda night!
June was also the month of waffles in our household. My mum got a box of 30 waffles…yes…30. This was my breakfast every weekend through June.
Ahh summer is finally here! I had a lovely evening in the middle of June with some friends, sitting on the roof terrace of the Blue Anchor pub in Hammersmith. We contemplated life, drank pimms, and discussed our three-year plans…before James told me my three-year plan was never going to happen and almost made me cry. Bastard.
I am completely in love with my new sandals! I say new, I got them back in February when I was back in Australia for just $20 in the sale…bargain.
It was C’s birthday this month so she had a black tie midsummer dinner party at her place. Bella and I rushed there from On The Roof With Q, so did a quick change in the ROSL powder room [above] before taking our place at the dinner table [below] where we were served a delicious four course candlelit meal, along with 24 other guests.
You may remember at the beginning of the month I reviewed Alain Ducasse’s new restaurant, Rivea. Well my ‘proper’ review of it is in the July issue of the Belgravia Residents Journal, which you can view online here. So there we have it, I’m now an officially ‘published in print’ journalist. Ha!
So there we go, the rest of my June aside from the blog posts you’ve been reading. I hope you’ve enjoyed my adventures this month, now get ready for a very busy June! 😉

I am in love with your dog! Is he a cocker spaniel? I have one a similar colour!

Congrats on having your review published! The little snippet you've shared is beautifully written. High five on cake disasters too – I was practising an easy Victoria sponge to use up some homemade strawberry jam and it came out all wonky! It looked like a pancake that had been dropped on the floor (but was strangely tasty…) Definitely the thought that counts, right? 🙂

That cake looks amazing!
