OOOOh, gorgeous day in London! Sunshine. Staying at a very swanky apt, sorry FLAT, thanks to my dear friends the Gutterman’s. Thanks Scott and Kathy …….and Quintess! Arrived at five am completely “knackered” as the British would say. Little refresher nap and off to explore.

Happy to see my honey after a whole week, we roamed the streets around St. James’s Square. The London Cabbie kindly but clearly corrected me when I told him I was staying at St. James Street. Apparently it is St. James’s Street. Notice the difference……….this chap James obviously had ownership of the place!

Stopped for lunch at Franco’s on Jermyn Street. Lucky pick, as the food was top notch, excellent service and bit of a scene. I always enjoy a scene. The lobster linguine was almost as good as the carpaccio with asparagus salad and shaved pecorino!

Shopping? Of course, but suffice it to say I hit the typical spots, Harrod’s, Harvey Nichols, etc. When I find some really unusual spots I will definitely fill you in.

Dinner plans tonight with an old friend Sophie, my BFF from age 12! Zuma’s is her favorite spot and I have been advised to go there by others so will dish tomorrow.
