My what a weekend!

I have just be thrown out of the end of the most wonderful weekend filled with fun and laughter. Mr Bs birthday was yesterday. As his birthday fell on a Tuesday it was decided that it would be the most wonderful idea if he booked the monday and Tuesday off work. This created an exceedingly long weekend. So what as all this fun we got up to?

On Saturday to mark the getting older of Mr B we went to one of our favourite places. It is a wonderful pub in little venice called The Bridge House. This charming boozer snuggled next to the canal is wonderful. The food is wonderful, the drink is wonderful (they serve aspalls blush which is perhaps my favourite drink) and the staff are wonderful. So with a band of merry friends we descended on the bridge house for a spot of supper. Once we had stuffed ourselves and imbibed some alcohol we went upstairs to the equally wonderful Canal Cafe Theatre. This Tiny theatre is fantastic! We went to see the excellent News Revue which according to the Guinness book of records is the longest running comedy show in the UK. So that was a wonderful Saturday.

Now for Sunday we mooched around. Ate a very decadent lunch pleasing ourselves. This is how I like to spend a Sunday. Monday the pook was in school so we headed to the shop with a very sleepy moomoos tucked and snuggled in her buggy to the Westfield. There we pootled around the shops picking up a couple of bits and pieces. This was followed by a brilliant lunch at Wahaca. Lunchtime margaritas are the way forwards I tell you. The fun did not stop there. In the evening we all wrapped up warm and set off on the Piccadilly line into town. Are destination was the winter wonderland in Hyde Park. This has become somewhat of a family tradition that every year around Mr Bs birthday we take a trip to see the circus at the winter wonderland. This year did not disappoint. The circus was a fabulous show including daring trapeze artists, contortionists, acrobats, stunt motorcyclists and jugglers. We were wowed by fire and noise and lights. A wonderful end to the day.

And so you probably think, that's enough fun for a weekend. you couldn't possibly squeeze anymore in? But we did. Tuesday, the actual birthday we walked to Chiswick and pottered up and down the highroad. We met with a friend in the Duke of Sussex for nibbles and a pint before slowly walking back with rounded bellies.

Tuesday night I created a feast of vegetable biriyani, dhall, coconut and cauliflower curry and roasted spiced aubergines. We feasted until our tums nearly exploded. Altogether a weekend to remember.

Here are a few snaps illustrating the fun
