Bucket list!

[Happy Holidays]

Flippin eck, don't think I've ticked off one yet!!!! Thats brill x

I did try to tick off Tom Jones as he is at a Festival near here but I'm not too keen on crowds & I know I wouldn't have enjoyed it.

The latest tick off the bucket list was brilliant. I went to the Caxton grill and had a gorgeous 3 course meal cooked by last years master chef runner up. Here are some pics;

Salmon with dill and miso on goats cheese and yoghurt purée


Lobster risotto


Mint, lemon and choc sobet with choc torte and caramel biscuits

 

[Happy Holidays]

Yippeeeeeeee that's brill, the food looks delicious. I'm still no nearer to ticking something off my bucket list, Tom Jones nearly got ticked off, but false alarm!!!

I was chatting to OH at the weekend about my bucket list and I get home from work to find him looking at flights to Dublin so we can fly there for lunch & then back, what a sweetie

I went to the holi festival of colour. It's really cool. You get coloured paint powder and once and hour everyone throws the paint up and you all get covered lol.

Music is house/dance which isn't really my thing usually but it was fun!

Amsterdam is on my bucket list! Did you go to Anne frank's house?

Sounds fun lol

Yes we went to Ann Franks house but whatever you do if you go pre-book!! The queue was over 2 hours long and was really annoying as groups of people were just having a few of them in the queue until it got near the door then rejoining together, so just as you thought you were getting somewhere you were further back again!
Am glad I went though!

We also intended to go to the Van Gogh museum but it took us so long to get there as we kept getting distracted by errm bars and food it was nearly closed by the time we got there!

Its an amazing place, the traffic is lethal! How we didn't get rum over I have no idea!

 

[sparty]

It sounds awesome. I've heard lovely things about it so will def make it there some day
