Casamia's Bristol

One more post for today as I think I've caught up on my findings since the last post in September...



Last night I treated my lovely boyfriend and took him to the exclusive, Casamia Restuarant in Bristol. This is the same place that won Gordon Ramsey's Italian restaurant of the year 2010, I even recognised two of the chefs and couldnt help but giggle and whisper 'its him off the tele!!'

We were certainly well looked after and dinned on a 5 course menu. There was picked vegetables, wildboar salami in a cage (natuarally), salmon in a box covered in caviar... a pigs cheak that bore a close resemblance to a beetroot... hake, apple and basil juice that really looked like something out of George's Marvelous Medicine and chocolate tart with lemon sorbet. We even got a goodie bag to take home, upon reciept of which I let out a happy little squeel! Haha.
I would recommend this place, it is pricey but definately an experience!

...More beards!!

I've found more, check out these winter warmers.
These 'face cosies' are made by Vik Prjonsdottir, they have a unique collection of blankets and body warmers (think snuggies for trendies).


I bloody love a good beard

I forced my boyfriend to grow a beard because they are sexy and rugged. They can also be cute and comical as you can see below...

Depeapa does beards!

They have a little etsy shop full of her beautiful illistrations on everything from tops to bags and badges.



Can you keep a secret?...

My best friend in the world is Kirsty and at the minute she's like a broken record, albeit a very beautiful and fun one!... Every other word that comes out of her mouth is ''wedding'' (thats if she's not talking about her other favourite thing - babies!)
She's neither engaged nor pregnant but longs for both. I'm sure she'll soon get her wish but it's fun to play along with her until then.

I came across a great blog today called Bridal Musings (link to follow) which, when the time comes has given me lots of ideas for Kirsty's bridal shower. Look how much fun this looks!!




Silly story of the day...

Tthe jist of it is... man eats lots of porrige, steals his kids food, feels guilty, craves booze, decides it is totally undo-able and is miserable. Once week is over takes his wife out, buys rounds of drinks and lives like a king. This is an impossible task...
