Absolut Pleasure

Lovely evening with friends - we met at Waxy O'Connor's (quirky Irish bar), then on to Satsuma for a beautiful Japanese meal.



And then it was time for the Absolut Ice Bar. In a Ronseal kinda way, it's a bar, carved entirely from ice. And not simply carved, but artistically sculpted - within the ice are octopi and fisshies and coral. Even the drinks glasses are carved. Visitors are given a thermal cape and get 40 minutes to explore the place and sample the delights.



Emerging from the Ice Bar, life felt very warm indeed. Garlands of lights draped the street, giving Mayfair a positively Madeiran feel. We sat out in the sultry evening, chatting and laughing, savouring a zingy cosmopolitan. Then home, for it was a school night after all.

Lovely birthday. Thanks to my family and friends for the oodles of good wishes; you made the day supertreaty.

All my love XXX
