You also made me wonder when the London one is this year - I thought I may have missed it but it's not until 18th/19th September, so thanks for the heads up (although I don't know if we'll get there this year).<br /><br />Well done on your impromptu dinner too - I would not have thought of that combination with pasta but clearly it did the job!Karihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15887621874869110597noreply@blogger.com
