Surrey Market Fresh Bread

What we bought, 2 olive loafs, 2 savoury pretzels and 2 sweet pretzels.

Food glorious food, bread glorious bread I love you so. If you been following my blog for awhile you will know I like supporting small businesses/local business. As so many times these days we forget about markets and always resort to shopping purely in supermarkets, when we can find gems, fresh produce in markets, amongst other bargains to be had. When I got told about this new Surrey indoor eatery market, which is situated next to Surrey market (on the same road, strip), hey everyone knows I love food. Was in the area, would of been rude of me not to check out the place, didn't disappointment me, although it was end of the day, so they was getting ready to close up. Had quick nose around the stalls that was still open, there is upstairs but lot of steps for me so wasn't physically able to go look. Now let's get to the bread/pretzel stall, captured my greedy eyes, friendly staff that was able to guide us through the different breads, asking us what type of breads we enjoy recommending us ones we would enjoy. Needless to say the bread didn't disappoint, soft, type of bread that melts in your mouth, flavour is released and it's just wholesome.

Savoury pretzels, one with cheese and bacon (that was my one), other was like pizza pretzel, ended up being our dinner which worked out good for me, as didn't want big dinner. I thoroughly enjoyed mine, wasn't stingy on the cheese or bacon as you know some places can be tight with their ingredients, nice portion. Sweet pretzel could of been bit more sweet for me, but I blame it on having sweet tooth so for me lacked that sweetness, however still ate it all enjoyed it all the same, just like said earlier bit more for me personally. But now onto the price, all this under £5, bought all this for £2.40 yes, you eyes not misleading you. I think partly because they was closing up for the day they was getting rid of the goods, either way BARGAIN. Unfortunately they didn't have business card, as certain days they set up in Borough Market, so no info. However with permission took pictures (above), so if you ever in Croydon, check out Surrey St Eatery.

Omid Djalili Stand Up Comedy At Fairfield Halls

One of his jokes was him doing this, won't give the joke away, spoil it for others who be attending the show. 

So glad to be finally blogging about this event, as my health is bit crazy at the moment, what's new, I know.. Despite being extra poorly, worried wouldn't be able to go, literally was in bed all day until needed to get ready, slapped on some make up so I looked presentable, nice outfit well I thought it was, which will be in separate post outfit of the day. Bought the tickets months ago to Omid Djalili stand up gig as one day I was surfing the net as you do, in particular fairfield halls website looking at what's coming up, there I saw it beaming in front of my very own eyes my favourite comedian is doing a stand up, couldn't believe it, bought the tickets without no hesitation even if meant living on beans on toast for a month, ok being dramatic but you get the gist I was going end of. As so many times acts are at places that I can't get too, but I won't go on about that, let's get back to this blog post, what it's about, me going to Omid Djalili stand up show.

The warm up act was hilarious, note to people who are late to shows you going to get shamed out by the comedians, be prepared to be the butt of the joke, it's all light hearted fun. No lie I laughed from start to end, being in the front row I got to experience eye to eye contact, Omid himself saw me laughing which won't lie made me smile. However it gets better, after the show, got to meet Omid Djalili himself, as he was doing a signing of his book also signing tickets, taking pictures. When getting autograph Omid said to me I remember you from the audience, saw me laughing a lot and then we had quick chat as we took a picture together. I've grown up watching him whether it be on films, TV shows, stand up, here he was in the flesh, I hugged him. Without shadow of doubt one of the highlights of the year for me. Glad I was able to drag my butt as it was great evening. Can't wait to read his autobiography, as not started it yet. So can't review that. Even now when looking at the pictures I smile.

Fresh Cut

It might look the same to you, however I have gone shorter. My hair had grown fair bit since the chop so there was defiantly some length taken off, I naturally have thick hair so it was easy to create volume without teasing my hair or anything. My hairdresser bless her each step made sure consulted with me first of how much to cut off, double checking each time are you sure, which usually hairdressers are scissor happy chop off more than you wanted usually well in my experience, so it was refreshing to say the least, I said go back to Lydia's hairdressing salon and I did, will continue too.

The actual cut I love, as love the feeling just touching back of my head, example it's like when you shave your legs that smoothness you feel when there isn't no hair, yep that's how it feels. I am somebody who enjoys short hair, having boy cut if you like, still beautiful, still can be feminine have really short hair or no hair. Sorry had to go on my little soap box for second there, I'm back now.

What do you think? you like... Are you someone who like's short hair? join the team, haha.

Father's Day Celebration at Apatura Bar Restaurant And Grill

My Dad looking dapper, sorry no better pic, was just enjoying the moment.

Dad and I went to Apatura Bar Restaurant And Grill for Father's Day celebration, lovely evening out just the two of us, rare occasion so it was nice catching up. I ordered lamb burger which came with chips and salad for mains, Dad ordered steak as he loves his steak with peppercorn sauce which came with chips, onion rings and salad for mains. Neither of us had complaints about our meals, thoroughly enjoyed it, Dad loved his steak. Desserts I had warm chocolate fudge brownie served with chocolate fudge sauce and vanilla ice cream, Dad had sticky toffee pudding and butterscotch with vanilla ice cream. Only complaints we had was wished there was more ice cream served with the pudding, besides that yummy. Our bellies were certainly full after all that food. The service was great, attentive and waiting time for food wasn't long. We both would go back again, and would recommend it to others.

This isn't sponsored post or been asked to review this place, just simply sharing where I went for father's day. Did you do anything for father's day?

Lets Have A Cup Of Coffee At Matthews Yard

Coat: Sports Direct (old), T-shirt McLaren F1: Boyfriends, Leggings:Primark (old), Bunny Ring: Dainty Roses, Rose Ring:bought from a blogger, Nails: Rimmel Pro Ultra Violet

Riding Boots: Next

Found somewhere that fit me like a glove, somewhere that mixes creativity with food and drink. Art studio spaces, live music, chill, laid back feel, but still motivating as you can just get on with work. Their coffee is good, strong boost. What I love it is independent business, so already had my thumbs up, as we tend get caught up in big franchises, not that there is a problem, but it's great to explore.

Going there made me want to just get my sketchbook out, my creativity juices was bubbling which don't happen often, so I took that as a sign, still have the artist in me, I know cliché, but when you going through tough health times it's nice to feel that spark. Would be awesome to exhibit, I think it would reunite my love passion truly and confidence.

Back to Matthews Yard I've yet to sample their food, but the foodie I am sure when I can I will, no doubt share with you, not the food it's self I'm afraid sorry, also want to go to live gigs that they have there, so we shall see. If you in the area of Croydon, or not to far worth checking out.
