Remember when the movie “Love Actually” commences and the voice over talks about the arrival lounge at Heathrow Airport always showing “love all around” as people arrive? Whenever I land in London, I always think of that scene and the amazing emotion that can be witnessed at the arrival hall when people see others they love ……I also think of something
my dear Andrew once said to me “that the kaleidoscope of humanity is most visible at Heathrow Airport where every race, culture or nationality can be seen any time of the day”. It really is just that. Whenever I arrive in London, I am always in awe of the WOW factor that still hits me. Ohhh ....I do LOVE LONDON.
Being fortunate to go to a work related meeting recently, meant I could have a London hit.
Remember our Guest Chef Lloyd Morse from January classes? Since his return to London he has been working at the River Café. So we thought it would be great to dine there. Lloyd was on a night off, so he was able to join us for dinner, after a quiet ale at a nearby pub first. Jules, (one of my bestie girlfriends) who lives in Markington, near Harrogate in North Yorkshire, came down to meet up with us for an overnight visit and joined us for dinner. Also another young friend who is living in London for a while, Liz from Geelong, was also available. So with great company and a table booked – we headed to the restaurant the night we arrived.

Jules, Tez & Deb
Now you know Tez and I enjoy good food and wine……Well our dinner that night did not disappoint. We selected some starters to share. This included langoustines and the sweetest, thinnest most delicious type of prosciutto.
Sweetest prosciutto ever tasted
We then each chose our “primi” course. Each of us selected something different and a lot of sharing of different pasta, risotto and seafood dishes between the five of us, each one of us claimed we had chosen the best dish!!
For “secondi” course, I chose veal shins slow cooked – YUMMY!!!! I was so busy eating my plate I can’t remember what the others ordered!!
We were so busy eating we forgot to take photos!!!
Then we had to decide on dessert - to make it easier we decided on a shared dessert plate and a shared cheese platter…..nothing more can be said - but DELICIOUS!!
