Bloggers' tea in London

Ooh, I had a lovely day on Tuesday! I skived off, up and away from my jewellery bench, and off to London to meet up with some bloggers for tea at Sketch, just off Regent Street. Have you ever been there? It is totally off-the-wall decor wise -  an artist/designer has been given free rein in each of the huge rooms (and the smallest ones!), and the result is a surreal mix of different styles all hiding behind a tidy looking Georgian frontage. We had afternoon tea in 'the glade' (photo below), but there was a cave-like nightclub, huge dining rooms in opulent styles and egg shaped pod loos! There was another glass and crystal studded ladies toilet that had to be seen to be believed!

Anyway, a friendlier, more interesting and international bunch of women I could not have hoped to meet, and as we sipped champagne and then cups of tea and nibbled (it is possible scoffed would be more accurate for me - oh dear!), on the most delicious afternoon tea delicacies we got down to the nittygritty of blogging, parenting, house moving, Texas, winter boots and other topics close to my heart! LOVED every second. Thanks so much to Laura for organising!

I was also chuffed to meet the lovely Sarah from one of my favourite blogs, Sarah Jane down the Lane, but somehow she managed to duck out of the photo! 

Three hours later, and a quick squizz around Liberty's before catching the train home, it was one of those wonderful, one-off afternoons that I will never forget! Thanks girls, it was great meeting you all. xx
