Hello Again Old Friends

Hello Dear Readers,

This weekend was pretty busy as I met up with old friends and relations.  Friday I did some shopping on Oxford Street, and met up with a friend at a great cafe called Foxcroft and Ginger in Soho. They do an amazing sandwich, french toast with banana and chocolate, how decadent! 

That afternoon I met up with my Aunt Sherry and Cousin Lindsay, the latter of which has been studying in Italy for the past semester.  We walked around some touristy areas (Trafalgar, Piccadilly, Regent street - Lush!).  Then we met up with my brother at the self proclaimed "World Famous" Bass and Sole Plaice fish and chip shop.  Outdoor dining, with heat lamps of course, this is England after all.

Afterwards we went for a pint at the Porterhouse Pub.  Since it was a Friday night it was pretty crowded (check out the guys photo-bombing in the background - thanks dudes)

 Then last night I met up with yet another old high school friend Matt Heap and his new wife Lisa.  I haven't seen him in about 10 years I think, but he hasn't changed a bit.  Unfortunately we only had a few hours to catch up but we had a nice dinner at that English classic Wagamama, a walk, and some Gelatto in Earls Court.  It was nice to meet Lisa as well, I hope they will be able to visit again soon and spend a little more time here.  Sorry for the crappy photo quality, I forgot my camera and we had to use Chris's phone, Matt has one with his camera, so I'll replace the crappy photo when he sends me a new one.

This weekend Chris is obsessed with the TV show Heroes so I'm using the time for catching up on some last bits of knitting and sewing for other people, baby clothes for Katelyn and a cotton cardigan as a commission for a friend.  Here I am modeling the slouch hat and cowl set I did out of the handspun teal for Molly's birthday (it's ok, she doesn't read the blog and she knows it's coming).

Of course now that I'm finished we have started to have springlike weather..... oh well, it'll be good for next year, I hope she likes them.  I'm off to sew a few baby pants, spin some Jacob's fleece and keep on trucking with a black cotton cardi.

Cheers.
