Ditto for two ...

The last fortnight has been a hectic one, with family coming over from all over Europe and having to ferry them around with airport, relative visit runs etc. Despite that, and what with trying to grind out extra work for the business, there’s still been an opportunity for some L-time. The difference this time also was that I had big sis to accompany me socially.

Last Wednesday was a pleasant evening meal at Velvet for 8 of us, when June came over from Ireland. Also managed to bump in to Jane Maybe in Canal Street, forever the girl-about-town!

If it’s Thursday, then it’s Cheshire Oaks time, and last week I went over with my sis for a couple of hours of browsing. Phase Eight had a few lovely dresses, but I wasn’t in the mood for spending excessively, and settled on some jewellery from East. The whole area was quiet though. On Friday we went over to the Trafford Centre, and that place was buzzing. Something to do with an event on the following day. The MAC girls were pleasant as usual, but had little time for chat as it was busy. The lovely girls on La Prairie however had loads of time to talk! Vicky from the fragrances in Selfridges was very friendly and we met up with her and work friends in Dexters afterwards, where we had our meal (and shared one of those massive ice-cream desserts, with the spicy choccy sauce!).

Evans had some new ranges of footwear that were quite attractive, and will be worth going back to try out again soon.

Then last night there were 11 of us in Velvet again for the monthly Northern Angels meal; well, with 50% off the food bill this month, it means we get out twice as often. It was pleasant also to have our T-jetsetter Jenny D join us at Tribeca for a drink beforehand. A bit of a short evening though, as we had to be up at 5 a.m. for the airport run. It still seemed that there was a decent-sized delegation of Northern Angels in Nap’s afterwards!
