Finally remembered my username!

Worse than not writing your blog which you promised to yourself that you would do faithfully everyday is that when you do finally get around to doing it - technology stops you. Or rather my memory stopped me as I forgot my username and then technology is not friendly enough to nurse me through my senior moment.
However, here I am. Now I am even more determined to write something more regularly in case I am thwarted again by my failing memory.

I meant to write about our part in Viva Italia at Olympia two weekends ago. It was really good, very foodie and a great excuse to taste Italian products. We ran the restaurant there, a smaller version of Caldesi restaurant serving Tuscan food. We also ran a scaled-down version of our cookery school and did demonstrations along side Ursula Ferrigno and Valentina Harris. Definately going to be there again next year. It was like walking in to a part of Italy in central London.

Will sign off now as about to watch Return to Tuscany on BBC2. Its about us running the cookery school for the first time in 2005. Its ten episodes every monday night at 7.30pm. Strange to see yourself on TV particularly at what was such a stressful time in our lives, opening the school and also about to get married - its great to re-live some of the memories though.
