I've been over to New York a couple of times, and while there I became addicted to Vitamin Water - a drink from a New York based company that rehydrates along with pumping you full of vitamins and minerals. Even better - they look pretty and taste great! These have got me through some pretty heavy hungover morning meetings! Glacéau (the company) have just released 6 varieties at selected stockists in and around London (I found some in Brighton). Give Power-c a try (my favourite) with vitamins c+b.
While in Brighton I discovered the work of an artist called Graham Carter - his work was on the wall in an amazing antique shop and it drew us in. We found out from the owner that there is currently an exhibition of his work on in a lovely little gallery called ink_d. There were quite a lot of pieces of his work up from sale - ranging from unsigned woodcuts (from memory they were around £30) to multi-layered acrylic pieces (costing £2k+). I loved Bird Strike (pictured) which features little rabbits jumping from a crashed burning plane - try and spot the one having a cup of tea! The show is on until the 30th November if you get chance to pay a visit.
So, we've just been to Brighton as an after wedding getaway, so expect a few Brighton posts coming up :) To kick things off though here's a tip for all the rum drinkers out there like me. We came across the Saint James pub while walking back to the hotel. The sign outside read 'Hot Toddy made from homemade spiced rum' - I've never entered a pub as fast! It turns out that the Saint James is a lovely atmospheric pub, that has over 70 varieties of rum! Over 70! They also hold a rum club on the first Tuesday of every month (at 8pm), so if you are in the area, you should definitely go. They also serve what looked like the most amazing Thai food - if only we hadn't booked a restaurant (I can imagine I would have been there all night). My recommendation from the rum list is the Santa Teresa Rhum Orange - a gorgeously smooth orange based spiced rum.
