visitors from hamburg, berlin...

 

oh what a delight to have some of my best pals around at the same time and even being able to surprise them as they didn't know about the other party's arrival.

merten was here on a mission to explore the merits of the chiltern firehouse hotel and restaurant (and at least with the food i was able to assist!), and pam and stef were just here for a leisurely weekend, happy to go along a little trip to greenwich park, cutty sark, docklands, and the usual suspects in south east london.

 off to canary wharf for a little shopping and a drink

 back home and hungry

 and while the cook had great help

 not all guests were amused. yes, darl, food is coming!

and wine








in the end...
