It’s been a pretty intense conference week at work with lots of extra long hours so I don’t fall too behind with everyday work. This means the little amount of free time I have in the evenings is spent playing catch up with editing photos, blogging, watching a few episodes of Orange is the New Black with Jorge and sleeping. I also managed to fit in a lovely evening of wine drinking and good conversation with Anne from Benton and Tilley who was visiting London from Kentucky. Last weekend Jorge and I went to the beautiful Royal Opera House to watch a magical ballet. I also went to London’s Maltby Street Market for the first time and visited an old favourite, Borough Market. Posts on those soon! This weekend, we’re gearing up for a staycation at the Zetter Townhouse in Clerkenwell and look forward to taking advantage of their cocktail bar while we’re there.
What are you up to this weekend?
