Raining Weekend in London

This was a packed weekend. Things started well with the book signing at Villandry. We were provided with a basket consisting of

• pure butter croissant (£1.25) - flaky and buttery, really good.
• Almond croissant (£1.50) - heavenly, pure joy
• Pain au chocolate (£1.35) - great quality chocolate
• sticky fruit Danish (£1.50) -the most ordinary.
• orange juice - freshly squeezed, if a bit bitter

The service was excellent, the chef was really entertaining, and we got a copy of the book for him to sign.

Onto our next event, which was the Dawali Festival of Light. There was food, lights , lots of colour, even more people. There were supposedly performances on stage, but I couldn’t see the stage to verify that.

Sunday was a bit quieter, but even more food was involved. First to celebrate A’s birthday at Four Seasons, then off to Selfridges for dessert. Morelli s Gelato fig and banana gelato in waffle cone. I was really keen on the banana, and have to report that it’s one of the best banana gelato I’ve had, besides my favourite shop in San Gimilano of course. Slokky had the Hazelnut gelato in espresso coffee which was also glorious.
