Roll up roll up the best kind of party's in town

No it's not an SClub party...it's a Pug Party! I wish every Sunday could be like last Sunday...we spent it at a pug party at Pick Me Up  Festival at Somerset House. The Pug Queen herself.... Gemma Correll was there teaching everyone how to draw pugs & not just any pugs...pug balloons! Sadly Mr Norman Pickles (the muse for most of Gemma's work) wasn't there but various pug photos were projected onto the walls for inspiration/distraction! Afterwards we had great fun wandering down the South Bank, pugs in tow....sadly the tube got too exciting for one of Adam's pugs & he popped on the way home *sigh* Our little pugs are now by the tv & I swear when we go out to work they carry on having their own little pug party while they wait for us to come home.

A good few hours later we emerged blinking into the sunshine to find some good pub grub... as we stepped out we were greeted by The Delorean - signed & everything along side a Back ...

Just call me Delia Smith with a bit of Gordon Ramsay thrown in...

Last Sunday I achieved what I thought was the impossible...I cooked! Now to most people that’s no biggie but for anyone who’s lived with or visited me I manage to warm things up well(ish) but to actually cook is up there on a pedestal that’s above my reach....or so I thought... Easter Sunday Adam & I decided we were going to tackle that holy grail....The Sunday Roast! Gulp! After writing a list of what to do when with coloured arrows all over the place thanks to a phonecall to dad & a piece of Lamb (with the bone removed thanks to our very friendly local butcher :)) We were ready to go. First thing first – we opened a bottle of wine...then we were off! To be honest I don’t really enjoy cooking – I find it very stressful trying to juggle everything to be done at the right time & the right temperature but we got through it together. Thankfully Adam was by my side as chief veg peeler, meat carver, wine pourer & general calmer downer! I had ...
