Nash House in Stratford-upon-Avon
I promise my Rome series will come to an end soon and I'll get back to blogging about London restaurants. In the meantime, inspired by Sam over at Becks & Posh, here's what I've been up to…
- Hanging out at Lunar House in East Croydon, with a break for lunch at Le Cassoulet while waiting for my Indefinite Leave to Remain visa.
- Listening to the Fleet Foxes.
- Thinking and rethinking buying a flat.
- Booking flights to die Schweiz, Barcelona, and Chicago.
- Watching Season 1 of Mad Men on DVD. Hooked!
- Saying goodbye to Julie over dinner at The Ivy
- Celebrating my birthday with Crispy Duck at Crispy Duck in Gerrard Street .
- Having drinks and snacks with Rutton and his ladyfriend on the rooftop deck at The East Room.
- Getting some Shakespeare in Stratford-upon-Avon with Gerry and Ben, marching with a parade (serendipitously, with British soldiers, newly arrived home from Iraq), and then constructing our own little pub crawl.
- Having great margaritas and an okay dinner at Mestizo, the Mexican in Euston, with Gerry and Ben.
- Enjoying a nice lie-in on Sunday.
And what I haven't been doing…
- Eating carbs.
- Writing about The Ivy.
- Writing about Crispy Duck.
- Running.
And what I need to be doing…
- Running.
- Taking more photos.
- Studying for my WSET exam

Happy birthday! I hope you have a great day. I look forward to reading about the restaurants you try in Barcelona and chicago.
Crispy Duck’s Crispy Duck can turn one against Chinese food for good, I think. Is that why you’re not writing it up perhaps?
Actually, we had a pretty OK meal at Crispy Duck. I wish they had cut up the
duck in front of us though. Thing was, it was my birthday. I was more off
duty than I normally am. No photos, no nothing.
Buying a flat wow! Surely studying for a WSET exam is brilliant fun or does it actually involve work rather than just copious amounts of drinking?
Would be interested to hear about your meal at Mestizo. I was supposed to go there on a date. Unfortunately I had a car crash on the way to the date and therefore never made it.

I’m always on the look out for the perfect Margarita
Food was eh, to be honest. Margaritas were good. Pricey. Would have been
better with the chunky salt.
Hello Krista, Happy Birthday! Sounds like you have been enjoying life, well done! I didn’t know you are doing your WSET, are you doing the diploma? I have the final scary evil exam coming up, 12 wines blind! Yikes! Hope to see you somewhere soon!
