Anniversary

[Friday 17th October]
Today marked two years since the day Chie and I "officially" got married.

I personally am less keen on celebrating this one, and would much prefer to remember the actual wedding day, which was a lot more special.

Chie, unsurprisingly, is determined we'll celebrate both.

Whilst this is only our second "official" anniversary, it seems we already have a well established tradition to go "someplace nice" (i.e. expensive!) for dinner. Last year we went to the Boisdale - a Scottish restaurant in Belgravia, and thinking back to it the actual day itself, we went out for a fabulous bout of gastronomy in the evening at L'Atelier de Joël Roubuchon in Tokyo, of which there is no mention whatsoever on the blog post for the day. At the time I think I felt an account of a very nice dinner would diminuish the credibility of the rest of the post, with it's stark existentialist outcry.

Anywho, to cut a long story short (was it Mark Twain who said "It's already too late for that!"...?) this evening we decided to go to Manna, a rather chic vegetarian restaurant in the Primrose Hill area. I have written a full review on my vegetarian blog, so I won't repeat all the details here and instead offer a somewhat abridged version: it was quite nice.

After dinner we took a quick stroll onto Primrose Hill itself, to catch a rather nice night view of London - sort of appropriate I suppose, as this is where we'd got engaged just over four years ago (although you'd never guess from reading that post - at the time I didn't feel the blog was really the best way to announce it!).
