On Target For Rio

So this weekend I completed my five week archery training course! There were plenty of up's and many downs, hits on and off target, but mainly lots of fun. Will I go on to Rio or will I hang up my bow? I guess we'll have to wait and see!

It's official

Roll Out the Red Carpet

So this weekend I found myself doing something interesting and quirky on a week night! Shock horror!

On Wednesday evening, I found myself traipsing down the red carpet for the 56th annual BFI London Film Festival. I joined celebrities of all sorts for the European premiere of Tim Burton's Frankenweenie, the gala opening film!

The film left the audience in peels of laughter as we were all caught up in the wonderful and at times eccentric imagination of Tim Burton. I certainly enjoyed toasting the success of the film with a glass of champagne at the after party!

Piled on the Carbs in Marbs

So this weekend I escaped the miserable weather in London and escaped to celebrity hot spot (and TOWIE favourite) Marbella!

Now everyone loves the designer shops and the huge yachts in Puerto Banus, but my heart belongs to the beautiful Marbella Old Town. Tiny and cramped alleys led to; small squares with quaint shops, restaurants serving traditional food and the most amazing floral displays bursting out of balconies and hanging off roofs.

Juan, our excellent tour guide, took us around the maze of backstreets all of which had a story to tell. A particular favourite was "the naughty street." I'll leave it to you to guess the original purpose of this street!

And what better way to finish a day of exploring the past? Why a glass of sangria of course!
