Flunch: Cite Europe, Calais


Flunch: Cite Europe, Calais

I went to Calais for the day with my cousin, her husband an my aunt. I wandered off on my own in the supermarket and bought a mixed assortment of wine and cider. This is where we had lunch, it's called Flunch - it looks much nicer in the picture than it was in real life but the food was OK. You can read more about Flunch by clicking on the photo. (They should market Flunch in the UK under the slogan "Flunch - what the French call lunch."

Brick Lane: last week


Brick Lane Yesterday

I've been helping Yol who's been given a dozen or so eating places to review. On paper this sounds fantastic but having to eat out that many times in a few weeks isn't all it's cut out to be, particularly when you don't get to choose the places you eat in. Off the top of my head the places I liked were Jones's Dairy in Columbia Road; Story Cafe off Brick Lane (this picture was taken outside of Story) and the rest have become a bit of a blur. My problem is that I probably wouldn't eat in either place normally. The bad places were terrible and the worst was Cafe Boheme on Old Compton Street where I was served cold steak and chips. On the upside they did me a new steak and chips and gave me a very large glass of wine which pushed me over the edge as I'd already been drinking the free bar at Adam's book launch earlier that evening.

Cathy Lomax at Rosy Wilde


Cathy Lomax at Rosy Wilde

Been busy seeing art for the last week. This is Cathy's show at Stella Vine's new gallery space. She's kept the Rosy Wilde name from her place in Whitecross Street and it's above the Ann Summer's on Wardour Street. The night we went was pretty packed and very very hot. In this picture Cathy still hasn't arrived but Stella's on the far side taking pics.
