The week that was...

We were at the Real ale tasting at Cask & Barrell on Monday, Styledays seasonal fashion update on Tuesday, 5aside on Wednesday, badminton on Thursday, Lothian Life wine tasting on Sunday and tennis on Monday. Last night we went to the Festive Fete tasting event at Harvey Nichols Food Hall. It was simply fabulous. It really is a wonderful place to go for presents. I loved Simple Simon's Perfect Pies and the Harvey Nichols deli cheescake. Pop into the deli counter try a slice and let me know what you think. It's simply the best cheesecake I've tasted in a long while.  Last night we were also at Al Murray at Festival Theatre.

Baby, baby, baby you can have my private number...
