If I was Betty...I'd spend Sunday afternoon at The Ship in Wandsworth

After unsuccessfully trying to persuade the dishes to wash themselves and the cat to vacuum the flat, there was no better excuse to exit this futile attempt at bliss as a domestic goddess than a text from a friend who was worried that the household cleaners she had been using all day might cause her hands to disintegrate. An so the escape plan was hatched...see you at The Ship at 5pm!
A few weeks prior we had spent a nice afternoon in the sunshine in the garden at The Ship until a thunderstorm descended on London briefly. This time the weather was already significantly cooler so we had decided we would inside. This would have worked except that despite it being 5pm on Sunday, The Ship was rocking! We may have missed the lunchtime crowd but we hadn't realised that the rest of the SW London crowd had also thought it was a great idea to head out for a pint. However looking at the crowd, I doubted that they were there in avoidance of domestic duties. Can you say #madeinchelsea?!
But The Ship didn't disappoint in being a great chill out place whatever the weather or crowd.

If I was Betty...I'd have a favourite local pub

When you move to London, it's easy to disappear into the sea of nameless faces that commute in crowded public transport to the office every single day...but don't despair...Friday's Pub Night!!!

It's taken a number of years to find my Cheers. Yes I'm unashamedly using that cliche...to go where everybody knows your name...ok well not everyone but at least a couple of the barmen and that is good enough for me!

Looking for that great little English pub, that is alive on a Friday night with rowdy laughter, plenty of alcohol, a good pizza and even some live music - look no further than the Albion on Hammersmith Road!!
