My husband is a doll. It is our fourth year wedding anniversary tomorrow (Sunday). As a surprise Dave organised a babysitter (mum), booked a table at a restaurant (Pattersons) and a night in a five star hotel (The Bloomsbury). The hotel is gorgeous. Very comfy, cosy and luxurious.
We walked to the restaurant along Oxford Street.
There are British flags everywhere in celebration of the Queen's Jubilee.
The food in the restaurant was delish. The starter was a tomato tart for Dave and scallops with a crab fish salad and grapefruit for me.
We walked a mile back in the balmy night air. Even though it was after 10pm, the west end was heaving with people, buses and taxis.
We had a bit of a mishap in the evening when we went into a hotel lift directly after some guys got in. They weren't English speaking. They pressed floor 8. We pressed floor 6. One of the guys stretched his arm across me and put his hand between the lift doors to stop them from closing. I thought they'd changed their minds but they promptly got out and stood in the foyer waiting for the next lift. Unfortunately, my only explanation is that they didn't want to share the lift with black people! Saying that though, if they have issues with black people then they certainly shouldn't be in London. It's so multi-cultural, it's a joy to be in :)
@pointnshoot28 I didn't know which photo to choose so just went for all four. I wasn't going to put the lift incident in but hey, it happened and I wanted to record it. Incidences like these are few and far between.
What a wonderful way to spend your anniversary! Love the collage and the food sounds and looks marvellous! As for the lift incident, it sounds very archaic and ridiculous! Good for you for looking at it so positively! I absolutely can't wait to visit London, if all things go to plan we should be there around this time next year! Fingers crossed!
this looks great - sounds like a top night out and belated congrats! Some people are so funny re the lift episode...I remember doing something similar to a chap when i was in a dark dingy lift in Brazil...though the guy that walked into the lift looked very dodgy and was carrying his pizza box strangely...I was convinced he had a gun in it so i made a hasty retreat!! You weren't carrying a violin case were you?? LOL
And what idiots on the lift! I like your attitude towards the incident. London surely is the wrong place for such people!
