I have had a very busy few weeks.. run off my feet with the kids, baking, doing some extra work at the Raven and fighting off the cold that seems to sneak its way into my system as soon as it gets a little chilly outside.
fighting off my cold with a high consumption of alcohol seems to be my tactic this year... I wouldn't recommend it... although saying that, there is nothing like getting comfy in a pub with a pint and some great mates when it's freezing outside :)
I have recently started working in the kitchen at the Raven (above) on saturday's. The chef there Luca is brilliant and is letting me come in for 5 or so hours to pick his brain and to help him out with some baking.I finished my recent cooking course last week... I finished off with a cheesecake and brandy snaps (which i forgot to take photos of) and the Raven has been a nice follow on from it. I'm really enjoying it :) Last week I made quince jelly... don't want to toot my own horn too much but it was lovely :)
Have had a few big nights out too with the gang... love those guys!
London's weather has been freakishly warm for November/December. I think this time last year it was almost starting to snow, whereas at the moment we're sitting on a nice 7 degrees. It's almost tropical ;) We have had a few very chilly days though, and some very foggy mornings...
All on the Nanny front is calm...almost! Effie and Elliot are hitting their terrible two's and I have to say it has been a real test on my patience. Deep breath! BUT they are also still SO cute and really starting to chat loads which is cool :)This is Olive... Elliot's new little sister. She is beautiful.
and Effie and her new baby brother Charlie...
Both babies are healthy and keeping Mum's up all night!I expect my next post will be just after Xmas and I will be in sunny Moe for it. 2 and a half weeks and I'll be jet setting off to spend a month at home. It will be my first Christmas home in 3 years... I can't wait :)
stay tuned...
