Just a quick one today as I'm sleepy... as I mentioned last week Sunday was my first ever Majestic Wines Ball so I thought id upload a picture or two from my trip. The venue was excellent (The Grosvenor House) on Park Lane, and the food was lovely. It was so nice to sit and be waited on and relax. The hotel we booked was just round the corner and was nice too... apar from the drunken sandwiches I ordered to my room... defo not worth 11 quid!! The next day involved a trip to The National Gallery which was stunning. Theres so famous pieces there, and in particular on of my favourites: Turners 'The Fighting Temeraire', 1838 which I've been waiting years to see. This was followed by a meal in Soho at a vegetarian restaurant called Mildreds. I'l DEFINATELY be going back there at the end of January as there was so many things to try on the menu. I had polenta cake which was accompanied by lemon mascarpone, which I thought was clever and worked surprisingly well. We both tried the 'Barley Cup' which was really yeasty and kind of tasted like a mocha, but yea a delightful menu. Next time we're going the whole hog and having dessert so I'l report back on that and let you know! The restaurant has a chilled atmosphere and the staff are very helpful.
