vertiginous anniversaries

Yesterday was our anniversary! It's been three years since Matt and I first met in an office in Oxford. Amazing.

We went up Tower 42 in the City to Vertigo, the tallest bar in London, for swish clean glass panorama of London by night champagne cocktails and little bits of salmon and foie gras! We had a couple of outrageously expensive glasses and then got the ingredients to have a couple more when we got home. We're putting cognac back in the champagne cocktails - it's definitely the way ahead! At some point, I started making them with only sugar cubes and angostura ... the brandy helps give it a kick though!

the canal

I have an amazing route to and from work, now we've moved to Marylebone. I can cycle along Regent's Canal from our estate all the way around Regent's Park, past London Zoo, through Little Venice, Kentish Town and Camden, down to Caledonian road and our offices. Since both our estate, and my offices are on the canal, I barely have to go near a road! Unexpected, and great fun. It's such a clean route, and very little traffic!
