cheeky pigs

This is Julie & Steven’s (aka @cheeky_pigs) last day in Sevilla. Well, for now. I first met them when they took a tapas tour with me a couple of years ago. They’ve been back now twice and I know they’ll be back again, but it still feels sad to say goodbye. So I’ll just say hasta pronto! xx

london twitter meet upTwitter pals @milliskitchen @hollowlegs @cityjohn @shedlikesfood @marcooth

Wednesday was a bit crazy. I left home at midday not really sure where I was going to go, but then ended up in Soho. As it was getting close to lunchtime I stopped in at Rex & Mariano for a “light lunch” because I knew I had to have a seriously Fast Feast later on at Kitty Fishers, one of London’s trendiest restaurants, before heading out to a meet up of Twitter pals at the Canton Arms. The Twitter meet up had been planned for awhile, and when Jeffrey from @FoodieHub invited me to KF at first I thought I would have to choose one over the other, but since people eat SO EARLY in the UK, I ended up being able to do both. Even though I had to eat and run after having one bite – and taking a photo – of the final fab dish served at KF (and skipping dessert) it was still a great experience. Of course then I got on the wrong subway and ended up even later for meeting the Twitter gang, but in the end it was all good. Some of them I’d met before when they visited Sevilla, others I’d known for ages on Twitter but met in person for the first time. Once again the time went by too fast and soon I was making my way home, getting lost yet again. I think I should only ever take taxis in London.

tuesday in london
One of the highlights of my London trip was Lizzie coming into town from Bristol to spend Tuesday with me. Last time I saw her was almost five years ago, but it was like no time had passed at all. We met at my friend José Pizarro’s newest tapas restaurant in Broadgate Circle (he has two others near Borough Market). Now I wouldn’t ordinarily go out for tapas in London, but I’ve been dying to see José’s places for years, and finally I got the chance.

Anyhow, Lizzie and I had a fabulous long lunch with mucho vino and then went down to Oxford Street to do a little Drunk Shopping. Later on we made our way over to Spitalfields Market for a late snack at Nuno Mendez’s new Portuguese restaurant, Taberna do Mercado. Far too soon our day together was over and it was so hard to say goodbye. And I still can’t believe that the only photo I took of Lizzie was one of her falling sideways into a plate of pão de ló. Ah well. We made a lot of great memories.

feria jerez by day

Feria by day was very different from other my experiences over the years due to SCORCHIO temps of over 40ºC. So not only were we melting, but there were very few horses out and about (which is one of my favourite things). But better not to see them than to see them falling over from sun stroke. Next year…
