What A Weekend!

This marks the end of a very full-on and fun-packed weekend. My husband, Dan turned 30 yesterday, and we have crammed so much into the past two days. I’ll list some of the weekend’s activities...

Saturday
*Baked a lemon and polenta cake at 6am. 
*Bikes and brunch in ‘Look Mum No Hands’ (Old Street).
*A waterbus from Camden Lock to Little Venice.
*General mooching around Little Venice.
*Shirley Hughes exhibition at the Illustration Cupboard.
*Cinnamon buns from the Nordic Bakery.
*Home to pick my mum up from the station (she came all the way from Devon to babysit....what a nice mum)!
*Dinner and jazz at the 606 club (just the two of us). This was so good.
*Home in a cab after deciding we were too old to wait around in night bus queues with drunken youth (which once upon a time, could have been us, so didn’t get too grumpy about it). Very relieved we didn’t get on a night bus, as we may have ended up lost amidst Bon Jovi fans at Hyde Park. Woah.

Sunday
*A small lie-in. 7.45am....pretty good these days (thanks mum)
*Breakfast pancakes.
*Lunch at St John’s Restaurant (just the two of us). Delicious.
*Home for more cake.
*Children to bed.
*Beer and left over pizza on the balcony.
*Much needed sleep.

A super weekend, and a scorcher too! I have very sore feet and a very light purse, but it was all worth it. Happy Birthday Dan!

I hope you have all had lovely ones too :)
