Tuesday morning. Not a fun day, you’re more closer to the last weekend than the next weekend which means longer to wait before some weekend fun. However, this Tuesday morning was like no other morning I have ever had. Turning up to the beautiful sight of Somerset House and Spring restaurant first thing in the morning when most of the city is still sleeping, no better way to get the day started.
There is something about Somerset House that always makes me fall in love with it. It is such an elegant and recognised building in London that is always a pleasure to see. I have many fond memories of London Fashion Week there too, where sadly they remain as memories since the venue of LFW has moved.
I was greeted by the lovely Hannah as I entered into Spring, a stunning French restaurant situated in the New Wing of Somerset House, before being seated at the same table as Lauren who had arrived early and myself arriving a touch late, fashionably late.
Just as I had finished my piece of bread, I was kindly brought out a warm pear and lemon buckwheat turnover. Oh my god, chef Skye Gyngell is a pure genius. Where can I get the recipe for these? Oh and about ten more please? So good!
Whilst waiting for the next dish to arrive, I took the opportunity to get into deep conversation with Lauren about university life, especially us being the same age, it gave us a lot to bond and talk about. I was positively jealous of her year abroad in France, with her accent being so proper and authentic, I could listen to her talking in French all day.
How could we finish this beautiful series of breakfast dishes than a bowl of Eat Natural’s new granola? An exquisite new extension to their existing wonderfully healthy range. My sister and I are a huge lovers of their cereal bars, so it was only a matter of time before I found out about their granola. We were even lucky enough to be given two boxes of their smashing granola to take home and enjoy from the comfort of our own homes, whilst lounging on the sofa in the morning.
Until next time…
