Tomorrow is International Women’s Day and I will be taking part in the WOW Festival, celebrating women of the world.

Today I trotted (well, cycled) over the bridge, taking a break from the Fashion Week goings on at Somerset House to make a visit to the Tate Modern and their Roy Lichtenstein exhibition preview. The Lichtenstein show is the Tate’s first since 1968 and worth a visit purely for the historical value of his work. [...] Cycle lanes are iced over, the main roads are full of slush and it’s freezing! You don’t have to let a bit of snow put you off cycling though, as long as you’re careful you can carry on cycling in deepest winter. The best tip is to keep to main roads, some of the suburban [...] Does anyone else get tapas fear? That subconscious small plates worry that you won’t fill your belly, it’s a really concern for a total pig like me. I had my food radar on red alert at Tramontana Brindisa, the latest tapas kitchen from the Borough-based Spanish food importer.

The latest food buzz, round my way at least, has been the Begging Bowl restaurant which opened recently on Bellend(en) Road in the fancier part of [...] Green and Blue is my local café, where I often go to eke out a coffee for a few hours and make the most of their wifi. So it was such a joy to be invited to one of their bloggers evenings without laptop and deadlines in tow. Owner Kate is a real inspiration to [...]  |
