Judy, Victoria & Jamie

Well today started at 7.15 with a no show of the booked bank staff. Thankfully she did turn up eventually, having got lost in East London.

A busy morning followed but the highlight was lunch out. Victoria and Judy my Sparrows colleagues and I tried out Jamie Oliver's new Chelmsford restaurant Trattoria.

The decoration was most intriguing and was reminiscent of one of our half finished nurseries. Hanging cables, dodgy loose bricks and ripped wallpaper. The only difference is theirs is the finished article, ours is a building site!

The food however was beautifully presented. Victoria and I had a vegetarian pumpkin dish & Judy chose sea bass.

It was actually really good to get out of the office for an hour, relax, laugh & enjoy the food. Tomorrows cheese sandwich won't seem any where as near exciting
