QUIET!!!

Currently preparing for the National Wedding Show .....that's why it's a bit quiet over here... well, when i say 'quiet' I mean on the blog front.... it's a different story on ground though....boxes, ribbons, pictures, bags, albums..... It's all systems go at the moment..... everything should be back to 'normal' on Monday next week after the show......

WEDDING: OAKLEY COURT HOTEL, WINDSOR

Victoria and Adrian got married on the 1st of September in Windsor. My day started with Victoria at her parent's home in Buckinghamshire with a gaggle of  girls all grinning and excited about the whole wedding shin dig ...... It was a full house and I finally got to meet Victoria's parent's who were so welcoming ......

I enjoyed this wedding because i laughed so much and didn't notice time fly .... Adrian was of course in top form ... shed a few pounds (yes, Adrian.... i noticed!!!:) ) and scrubbed up real good...... and threatened that he knew where i lived if I misbehaved..... there was also Chris from CH video who carried on from where Adrian left off.......

Victoria and Adrian, thanks for having me share your day and also being part of a wonderful group of people that help me enjoy and appreciate my 'job' everyday......

MOVING!!!

Just a quick one to say i'm currently in the process of moving (sob!!) ..... I'm going to miss Chelsea; but i've outgrown my current space, so it's off to Marble Arch for me ("you're not exactly suffering"..I hear you say, and i will agree with you and just shut up about it).....it's a bit chaotic here at the moment and i may not be able to respond to phone calls until i get into my new place.... so only emails for the time being please.... everything should be connected pretty soon.....

NOTTING HILL CARNIVAL

Last week, bank Holiday Monday saw me at the Notting Hill Carnival with my friend Enitan.... we rarely see each other even though we are both in London so it was great catching up ......  we met at High Street Kensington Tube where we bumped into other friends and then took it from there.......

A message from Paul Smith......

The number of people at carnival could only be seen to be believed..... at this point, we could not move and we were starving!!!!..... we kept getting whiffs of Barbecued meat but could not move ....... I can't believe 10 minutes before this shot was taken we actually turned our noses up at several food stalls.....we said it didn't look 'tasty' enough.... well, let's just say there were a lot of 'maybe we should have bought it then' comments ......

When we finally got through the throng of people, we headed to oxford gardens with the help of the A-Z map. Why Oxford gardens?  Well, it's where 'Obalende Suya' was based and any Nigerian worth their salt knows you don't pass up suya for nothing.....  wherever there is suya, that's the unspoken meeting point for everyone.....  yep!! we met up old school friends and in my case, met new ones as well through Enitan (this girl is walking 'little black book'......she knows everyone!!!)
