After the summer exile, here I am, walking my way back in the crazy London’s event vortex…
Last week has been emphasized by a random meeting, an unexpected dinner and a long expected evening.
Tuesday, on my way to the FOWA Road Trip, I literally stumbled upon my old couchsurfing fellow Lily and her aussie friends, on their last night in London. Needless to say, the Road Trip was foresaken at once, and I enjoyed a nice dinner, by the end of which I was almost able to understand the peculiar Perth accent once again.
Thursday was the night for an unexpected invitation, by Amanda, to join the San Lorenzo tasting in poshy Osteria dell’Arancio, King’s Road.
There, I finally met Antonio and Sara and had the chance to taste again the wonderful San Lorenzo products, that I drooled so much on at the RitaliaCamp ;)
Among the other participants, Walid of TrustedPlaces asked me to guest blog the evening for their site, so probably you’ll see a more complete review there soon ;)
A snapshot I want to remember was the walk to the Osteria through King’s Road with Amanda, chatting about life in London and Italy: an Italian expat and an English ex-expat-just-returned-to-homeland-from-Italy walking their way through the one of the most iconic road in London to an Italian flavoured evening. Patterns.
Saturday was the time of the Ides of September, the dinner Stowe Boyd organized, excellent and not-so-stranger attractor for likeminded social geeks. Finally met Otu, and had a chat with Leisa, Ian, Stephanie and Euan who were sitting close enough (that’s the problem with long tables…). Tara joined us too, on her way back to SF, was curious to see her again after february and having exchanged so many threads on BarCamp and CoWorking’s lists.
