Hi, am back in SUNNY Manchester after my whirlwind trip to London and my visit to Hampton Court Palace to see Simply Red,— Simply Fantastic. Hampton Court Palace is truely an amazing setting for a concert and the summer months boast an  array of artists appearing there. Van Morrison, Katherine Jenkins and the Gipsy Kings are all booked to appear this month, just to name a few. I have always enjoyed the music of Simply Red (not just because they originate from my home City of Manchester)., and to see them live was a real treat.

Of course, Hampton Court Palace is magnificent, and my stay in London would not have been complete without a few of life’s little luxuries. We had Champagne  V.I.P. Tickets, which guarantee first rate seats  lovely meal , plenty drinks, and a overnight stay in a great hotel overlooking the Place.

On reflection, there does appear to have been a RED theme occuring just lately, (for those of you who may have seen my photo’s) Lets hope we get a few more Red sunsets and some lovely balmy summer evenings.

I’m back in Manchester and just catching my breath as the trip to London, although fabulous, has been really hectic and my schedule for the week pretty fast-paced, so am just chilling at the moment, pampering myself with bubble baths, and just enjoying the heightened feelings of sex and romance that summer brings.

Hi everyone, everything is back to normal now and I am happy to say that I am now back in circulation after my holiday, and of course, having my movements restricted by the awful weather, its good to have my routine back.

Just returned from London, and no visit to London is complete without a trip to that most famous of stores, Harrods of Knightsbridge.  I do have to admit that shopping in the food hall at this most exclusive of stores is one of my guilty pleasures, (along with a few others).  Being a true `foodie` I am able to indulge my passions and food I believe, can be a very sexual experience, and I`m not just talking chocolate spread!!! 

As we are talking confessions here, another guilty pleasure whilst I was there was to take a stroll around the most beautiful lingerie department, and treated myself to some gorgeous underwear, i.e. stunning lace-top stockings, basques, and some very sexy silk-knickers.  This was serious retail therapy.  I am now totally pampered with all of my new sexy underwear and just like the most gorgeous food, it has made me feel wonderful.  It is truly amazing just how good it feels when we meet our most basic of needs, sex and food!!!

Whilst in London I re-connected with a previous date of mine.  He had spent the last few years in New York, so it was nice to catch up with him.  We enjoyed a lovely evening together, and although we did`nt leave the hotel, (the weather was just too awful) we enjoyed each others company, which was short but sweet.  We shared a few glasses of champagne then bid each other farewell, until the next time.
