Lunch With Friends



The cold wintery weather is not going to hold us back from our plans to meet friends for lunch.   All that is required are more layers and I am never one shy of layering up.  Also I was promised Vietnamese food for lunch and nothing keeps me away from a good Vietnamese meal.

Winter's Second Coming


Seriously what is going on with the weather.  Just last week I was thinking about packing away my bulky coats and this week I needed to wear my snow boots.  I have to admit that I don't mind cold weather as I have a great love for scarfs and hats, but still snow in March is a bit much.

A Day With Gene


I am completely over the moon as I head to the Royal Albert Hall for a special viewing of 'Singin' in the Rain' accompanied by The Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra.  It has been 60 years since the movie was released and the love of the film is still the same (or is it just me).

Qipao Tea Party


It may have been Chinese New Year last Sunday, but a few of us decided to head out today and celebrate anyway. The perfect location for such a party was Camillia's Tea House in Kingly Court just off Carnaby Street.  It is a great little place and the second time I have visited it in the last month, so I am now a regular.

Outfit
Scarf: Charity Shop
Top: Made from a Qipao dress I was given
Skirt: Bought in Indonesia to be used as a tablecloth, but after a  few darts were sewn in the top it worked perfectly for today.

The Way Of The Tea


Today I headed off to the British Museum for there yearly Japanese Tea Ceremony called 'The way of the Tea'.  For me it is always a must see event and this year it was taken to a whole new level when I volunteered to be the 'second guest' in the demonstration.  I loved every moment, my only worry was that after sitting in the traditional style I wasn't sure I would every be able to walk again as my legs had fallen a sleep.
