This was swaythed across my palms this morning, and its a jolly nice idea. The National Trust has commissioned various celebs to lend their voices to various stories and recollections of the specific area the bench is placed. They've got the likes of Stephen Fry, Miranda Hart and John Sergeant.

Get sitting yeah

Eating on a budge......t

so i like to cook ya, but its proving a rather expensive hobby. Take for example last nights din din, courtesy of Jamie. Coley korma. It was delicious but cost me £17 i don't quite understand how, also it only fed 2 people. So i'm going to try and budget and spend a max of £5 on ingredients to rustle up a delicious healthy meal. Good food has supplied me the recipes, i shall thus go on and try this experiment, that is until i walk past waitrose and end up spending £5 alone on a lemon. Worth it though, those lemons are like mucho tasty

GE update

GE at the National Gallery

If you find yourself in Trafalger square at any point in the next coming weeks, take a peak at the living wall that's going up over the next couple of days. A lovely use of an empty space

Sunday brunch was spent at Tom's Kitchen in Somerset house, the American pancakes come as one massive pancake! And Ainefaces eggs were mutent red! Highly recommend it as a brunch spot. Also the Ai Weiwei sculptures are magnificent. And then to round of the weekend i baked brownies and the great Yomtov cake for Art Productions Cake bake today. Oh and tonight i doth feast at Moro.
