Immediately after Christmas 2009, I took advantage of the sales and stocked up on ornaments and decorations in preparation for this year's decorating color scheme: aqua, white and silver. Well, this year my son is really in the holiday spirit and has decided to string outdoor lights with his heart set on a red, white and green color palette (think candy canes and evergreen). Of course I want my door wreath to complement the outdoor lights as well as indoor decorations, so I will need to incorporate red and take the overall color scheme from one that resembles this: to this

More tales of the London trip later on today, and here they are....
So whistle stop visit, the brief was to pack in as much of Rebeccas London life as possible, my 1st born is at LAMDA in Barons Court, she wanted us to stay in a hotel on the same line as her so we found ourselves at The Novotel in Hammersmith (We wont be staying there again!).
We finished work at about 5:00, we arrived about 9:00, Rebecca met us in the foyer of the hotel, (the very best thing about this hotel is the flowers) we then set off on foot for The Curtain Up, I actually witnessed my own daughter drink from a pint glass (quite horrifying), then a series of tubes to Berkley Square and Benares table booked for 10:00, fantastic Indian food, the Tandoor cooked lamb chops were amazing (Rebecca had not been there before, students dont usually, but this was our treat, her house mates have been to The Ivy etc with their parents so as Liv would say What ya gonna do?). Back at the hotel for 1:30am sleep . 8:00 am alarm, a walk, then a bus (me on a bus, can you imagine, apparently I looked mighty out of place) and then a series of tubes (remember this is her lifestyle not ours) more walking and we arrive at Electric Brassiere for a superb brunch, Rebecca chose a breakfast Smoothie & eggs Benedict, Jason had a Bloody Mary and a massive Breakfast, I had the most delicious French Toast with Pecan & Maple butter mmmm.
Rebecca then went back for some rehearsals for a couple of hours but not before introducing us to Humming Bird Bakery we bought a box full of Red Velvet Cup Cakes for the girls at Flower Design.
Jason & I went to investigate loads of different Flower Shops our favourite was Angel Flowers in Islington, great shop, lovely flowers and the staff were really knowledgeable.
Ottolenghi is one of my favourite places so I bought a feast of take home goodies for tonights dinner and a very special packed lunch for Olivia to take to school today. A few doors up was a wine shop with a difference The Sampler, heres the thing they allow you to sample loads of different wines from inexpensive £8.99 quaffing wines to the King of Spains favourite Vega Sicilia Unico 1969 at £450.00, you can buy as little as two mouthfuls to taste which was just brilliant, Jason bought 2 bottles (The King of The Fyldes Favourite Barolo) to go with the Ottolenghi purchases.
Then to another pub The Barnsbury where we met Rebecca and Ben (Mark & Claires son also studying in London) we enjoyed a fantastical Sunday Dinner and enjoyed their company it all ended too soon and we were back on the tube, bus and finally car arriving on The Fylde in the early hours, today Im exhausted, Im also lead to believe this is Rebeccas lifestyle non stop, oh to be a teenager!
Engagement season is definitely in full effect. I was reminded of this when exiting a store the other day. A young woman ran past me squealing, flashing her newly acquired ring and announcing her engagement as she ran into the store (her boyfriend apparently proposed during her break). If you've been dropping hints, don't be surprised if your honey plans to present an engagement ring as your Christmas present. Wouldn't that be sweet?
The engagement season is the period between Thanksgiving and Valentine's Day. It's estimated that one-third of all proposals for the year take place during this period. Check out more engagement-related posts.
