I've only seen him a few times, so I thought it was him! How was the canape cup?

Square Meals Venues & Events was great. The lunch sandwich was ok but not overwhelming but I got a lot of tasters and nibbles everywhere and two sausages outside on the terrace, which was a lovely area with view on the Thames and Tower Bridge. So I sat there with my British sausage soaking up the warm sun (gotta stock up on those vitamin D levels) listening to the band playing. Bliss. There was a stand that had a huge basket with apples and everytime I went past I took another one, LOL. I got a tree as well! An oak sapling to be precise. However, I narrowly missed out on the free and signed pasta book by Theo Randall because I thought that was tomorrow. When the announcement came I wasn't far from the stand but there was a queue already and I lost out as they only had 50 books. Drats. The Canape Cup was fun too but honestly, some of those canapes are really over-complicated. Less is more some times as I thought some were completely inedible. I also didn't fancy queuing up 40 minutes for a free 10 minute massage and I completely missed all of the seminars as I was too busy elsewhere. When I rang PXC at one point, she was doing a mixology class.

After the exhibtion I met up with OH and walked to the Design Museum for a showcase which unfortunately was quite boring and the canapes not all that so we left after an hour.

I did get a showcase invitation for the Victory Services Club on 3 October at the exhibtion as well - they mention food, entertainment and goody bags! o/

What time did you get to the British sausage guy? When I was there he was a little upset no one wanted to talk and everyone was just taking the sausages! :(

About 2.30pm for the first (had to wait a while) and 3.30pm for the second?

It's probably not very good, but if anyone is interested there's a London Fashion Week after party at Whisky Mist tonight

I went to the thing you posted yesterday at the Culture Hub. Did you go?
