I arrived back from Paris last night to a heat wave in London. Even though it was 11PM, I was sweating in my brown leather jacket and sundress. This morning, I woke up to the sun shining through my window, made coffee, ran a few errands and made my way into the office. Ridiculously warm – thermostat says 25, feels like 32. I absolutely love this city in the sun. Everyone (I mean everyone) is happier and a bit more jolly. It feels like people just blossom a bit when the sun comes out.
I’m heading to dinner this evening with a group of friends, my former classmates from WSET. We are going to 28-50 Wine Workshop & Kitchen in Farringdon. I am so very much looking forward to seeing them again – fun group of people. I am a little nervous though…I haven’t heard my results yet from the exam (not supposed to hear for another two weeks) and I am scared that perhaps I will discover that others have already heard their results and I am the only one who hasn’t and thus…(heavy sights)….I have failed! Deep breaths…..
I will let you know what glorious tipples we try out – usually there is some kind of a competition between “old world” – our French contingent – and “new world” our American (i.e. me)/Scottish/Aussie-loving contingent. Pick a bottle between a certain price point and whichever team picks the ‘best’ bottle wins. What do they win you ask? Respect.
