My birthday

We checked out of the hotel and went to do some shopping in Covent Garden. We loved the Moomin shop.

And the shop where chocolate comes out the taps.

Tash and Ness had a spend-up in Cybercandy.

Then we made our way to Regent's Park to go to the Taste festival because I'd won tickets and crowns to spend there. We had quite a few free tasters of different things as we were going round. And we shared a thing of sushi lollipops, choc-dipped strawberries and wine.

We kept seeing people walking round with cocktails in a fresh pineapple so Ness made Mum queue up to get her one but it was at the wrong stall!
In the rain we sampled the chicken tikka pie and fennel infused lamb chop with mint chutney from Michelin-starred chef Atul Kochhar's posh London restaurant Benares.

Mum got a bit tipsy coz she had a fresh coconut and the man poured two glasses of champagne into it. She loved it!

We got a bit lost and worn out going round and some of us needed a few sit downs.
