I wish I could say that we've had an amazing summer but true to London's reputation for bad weather all we've had are a few sunny days!
Weather aside, it has been a cracker... my wallet is definitely suffering! (but totally worth it of course!)
At the start of the month I was invited to the BBC Proms in London. I had never heard of the Proms before but as soon as I found out the venue was Royal Albert Hall I was in!
The Proms runs every summer and showcases a range of music, mostly classical I think.
We trooped out at 9:30 am to sit in the line and wait 9 hours to get in, as we hadn't purchased our tickets beforehand. But eventually getting in there, sore feel and achy joints aside (I seem to be feeling like a bit of a grandma lately with my achy joints!) the wait was rewarded with some brilliant music!
I have to say I have never seen SO many Brits shouting at the top of their voices, waving their red white and blue... bleeding the flag!.... I think they could give us Aussies a run for our money!
Then.... last night Rachel invited me along to a roller disco in Vauxhall.
I am clumsy at the best of times... skating just isn't my thing!
Although... with a little help I managed to stay upright...
...most of the time!!
No surprises Rachel was a pro....
maybe with a little more practice I will pick it up... but have to say, my hopes and dreams of becoming pro were sadly crushed!
Then last night we defrosted our puff pastry and made a Fruit Bande with Creme Patissiere...
aaaand Eccles cakes...
next week we are making a swiss roll and bread rolls...
