I LOVE Easter. I'm not sure why you wouldn't given that it is the one day where eating a disgusting amount of chocolate is completely acceptable (and expected). This year it was very nice spending a relaxing couple of days with the fam after a busy week away from home.
Mum whipped up a traditional Simnel cake which is effectively Easter's version of Christmas cake. Fruit and marzipan. Not my cup of tea it has to be said but I have been told by the Simnel fans in the family that it tasted very nice.
Fun fact - the 11 marzipan balls are supposed to represent Jesus' disciples...
Looking back it is probably a good thing I don't like Simnel cake as I think I would have exploded had I indulged in any more food/chocolate.
On Easter Monday we took advantage of the free bank holiday parking and drove into London for the day. A spot of shopping followed by afternoon tea at the Waldorf Hotel, a visit to the Tate Modern and a trip to the theatre. Perrrrrfect.
After wandering around London and culturing ourselves at the Tate, we headed back in the Shaftsbury Avenue direction. There was then time for a quick G&T before we had to make our way to the Apollo Theatre to see 'The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time.' It was great, definitely worth going to see even if you haven't read the book.
BRGR.Co - Wardour Street.
Tim had been on the prowl for a good burger all day. None of us really knew why seeing as we had stuffed our faces at tea, however when we passed this little place on our way back to the car, none of our post-theatre bellies could resist. The burgers looked too good. They also conveniently came in different sizes so you could order according to how hungry you were. We opted to take them away so that we could enjoy them in the comfort of our car. A great way to end the day.
