The coolest of the cool, the YUMMMIEST of the YUMMM!

This lil' blogging lady went on an adventure this weekend to check out a great lil' place that is just beyond Long Lane in Bermondsey. Known for it's Antiques market on Friday mornings, this neighbourhood has historically been super stodgy Pie n' Mash territory through and through... so I thought!
Bermondsey Street is super cool, as we all know, but further south, really? Well YES, but of course! This month has welcomes the none less than ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC Bermondsey Square Hotel, home of Alfie's delectable restaurant! Oh my OH PIE!! Heaven on a plate!
On the second trip, I was not to be disappointed, it was a sunny Sunday with welcoming tables in the sun just outside their kitchen door. Roast trial run was a must for any newbie restaurant... so what did I discover... the BEST Sunday roast I have ever eaten on all of old London town, hands down. And I do not take my food lightly as some of you may know. It was delicate meat and veg, to die for Yorkshire the size of my head!( I do have a small head, but that's besides the point...)
If you don't quite believe it, then here's a lil' incentive, they're doing a 2-4-1 meal deal until the 31st! Just have a look at their website for further details Alfie's at the Bermondsey Square Hotel Once you've been, I want to hear what you think!
Ooh, of course while you're there check out the fab mod images around the hotel by the great Steve Nyman and of course the super cool dresses donned by the lovely ladies behind the front desk, courtesy of Pussy Willow on Bermondsey Street. I love the support of the local community. Fantastic work guys! Welcome to the neighbourhood!

Product Obsession #8 and ooooh it's the ULTIMATE!!


Oh, my, god! I have FINALLY FOUND IT!! This stuff is the ultimate in gorgeous, amazing, delectable body cream! I almost passed out when I first put it on, rather, it glided on to my skin making me smell like sweet goodness. Seriously, fill my bath with it, I want in. Oh L'Occitane, how do you keep making such incredibly accessible skin-pampering treats year after year without one instance of boredom! Friends, you now all know what you'll be getting for your birthdays!

Oh, I love my new dress!


I'm sure a lot of you already shop with them, but ASOS is so great! I wore thins in the park yesterday and was ready for a tea party in seconds! Great, glamorous and GORGEOUS!Champagne and strawberries anyone!?

SUN SUN SUN!


Gosh, it's been an amazing day in old London town! Sunny and about 75 degrees! What a treat for us all in these sometimes depressing days. A glass of champagne and friends in the park did me fine, what are the rest of you up to? What is your ABSOLUTE favourite sunny day thing to do, no matter where you live? Fingers crossed for more of the same tomorrow!
