The highlight of this week was a few days ago when we went to the Playhouse Theatre to see “Woman on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown” starring Tamsin Greig, thanks to my friend Danny (who is a man of many connections). Really enjoyed it! I’m hoping to head down to see the Femme Fierce show on International Women’s Day this Sunday where 150 female artists will be showing off their street art talents in the Leake Street Tunnel (and have a catch up with my buddy Stu who writes Inspiring City). It’s supposed to be a beautiful warm and sunny weekend in London (according to the usually unreliable iPhone weather app)!
What are you up to this weekend?

March 6, 2015 at 3:15 pmThe smell of rain is also one of my favorite scents! Fascinating about the science behind it. Love that chambray dress as well. Have a wonderful weekend, Steph! I’m laying low and relaxing. Last weekend was busy doing flowers for a wedding, so I’m looking forward to sleeping in, maybe getting brunch and it is finally supposed to get warm (ish) in Chicago.
