Photo of the Day No.24 - Marvellous Maristela
Mari was my model for the day, I am brushing up on my portrait photography and we headed over to Leadenhall Markets to take some photos. Mari brought out the portrait photographer in me, and I the supermodel in her. This is just one of my favs.

Posh Din Dins - Artisan
Sophie and I, quite often, well at least once a month get out to eat at somewhere just a bit special for a natter and something tasty.
This time I got us a great deal on Top Table so for £35 a head we got us a bit of spoiling with a 3 course dinner with all the fancy appetisers in between (made it about 14 courses if you counted them all) and a glass of Champers!
Unbeatable. And what can I say great company and great food! Rightly we rolled out of there too.
Artisan at the Westbury Hotel in Mayfair
Our wee fois grass burgers, delicious, and also the goats cheese with white chocolate - who would have thought!
My yummy Pavlova..someone in that kitchen is an Aussie!
Our chocolate tree - Sophie
Our chocolate tree - ME!

Austraya Day!
Another year, where I fail, unfortunately to have the day off that I deserve as an Aussie, so what did I do, well I had to make do.
Firstly at work we had all promised to contribute to make it a day at work that was as Aussie as possible, we had scarves, pinny's and tattoos representing Australia and food. Lots of food.
I as you can see choose to make lamingtons, not having the luxury of just popping into Coles for a dozen. They turned our fabulous, even though I choose the tricky option of making them with a jam centre.
MMmmm.... 2 hours of my time well worth it for sure. And below is the proof that I actually prepared them myself, yes you do see cooking utensils and the like in the picture, it is not a subterfuge!!
Here below is all our goodies lined up, mainly from a very worthwhile trip to the Australia shop in Covent Garden. We have BBQ shapes, Twisties (Cheese and Chicken), Minties, Pavlova, Monte carlos and of course THE lamingtons.
We also had mini packs of BBQ shapes and Freddo frogs on our desks. (PS feel free to send me any of the above anytime you like - I am happy to provide my address for such goodie delivery's)
After work, Matt, Rachael, me and our token Aussie Amy, headed over to the Walkabout for a few quiet drinks. Well it was quiet and noisy at the same time because one you cannot speak, or hear anyone speak and the music - all Aussie - is so ear drum shattering its not funny.
We got the lot, some oldies Midnight Oil, John Farhham, Jimmy, Crowded House, Men at work, The Angels, Cold Chisel, and one of my favs Hunters & Collectors, along with the grown up INXS, Powderfinger and the new Sneaky Sound system. Oh and we got a few random versions of Advance Australia Fair and Waltzing Matilda too.
Ah bless, you can only do one thing and that is join in with the flag/jersey/thong wearing and waving, skippy swinging, tattoo (Aussie Flag) wearing crowd...! Or queue at the bar which was a 15 min, 3 deep wait at best.

Me with Matt and Rachael.
PS Happy Australia Day everyone! Cheers!!
