UP TOWN GIRLS

Well the girlies had their annual meet up in London on Saturday and had a fun time. The sun shone for us so we headed for Covent Garden which is always good when the sun is out. First stop lunch and then a much needed glass of wine....but oh no it wasn't to be...disaster struck we had sat at probably the only cafe in Covent Garden that didn't have an alcohol licence which probably explains how we got an outside table so easily...The waiter talked us into a non alcoholic Rose wine which was a bad mistake tasted of nothing...oh well the food was good.

After lunch we had a pleasant stroll around all the little boutiques in the area and a few purchases were made....this of course made us very thirsty so we had of course to get a well deserved drink after this exhausting shopping, so we headed in for a little light refreshment and emerged 2 hours later, needless to say the second stop served wine!!! Well there was no going back for us then so after another small shopping interlude we headed for a cocktail bar before going to Da Mario Italian Restaurant for a very nice evening.

You are probably now wondering where are the pictures of us all on this superbly exciting day, well Ruth took her camera but completely forgot to take any pics, its obviously an age thing as she is 48 in a few weeks....still at least she remembered her camera which was more than the rest of us did!! Old age its certainly coming fast!!!!! Well I have at least managed to post a pic of Covent Garden to let you all know where we were and you will just have to imagine 5 stunning women in the shot!!

It has to be said that I could not finish this story without talking about the lovely end to our day...We ended up in the so called 'Quiet Carriage' not the best place for a group of girls at anytime, but after a few glasses of wine. Anyway we were actually fairly quiet but Ruth noticed there was a voice message on her phone from Ness who we had left earlier, well no sooner had she put her phone to her ear when there he was 'Mr Jobsworth' yes you know the type "You can't use that in this carriage" he said well we thought it was hilarious as Ruth was not saying a word only listening to a message..he persisted with his point until we pointed out that he in fact was the one making the noise...Needless to say he made a swift retreat at this point never to be seen again.

Well that was our day, we wished a few more of you could have been there with us Ali, Kathy, Nikki but we did think of you all, maybe next time!
