TALES BY SAVANNAH FROM THE PANAMANIAN JUNGLE & LUNCH WITH JO AFTER MEETING DEBBIE GOAT @ PARSON'S GREEN FARMER'S MARKET

Goodness ME, what a long title for this post! 

But WE have HOT news for YOU from the source, well, not the source but at the end YOU will know where it came from, so read on Dear Readers, read on!

YOU know, if YOU are up to date with MY Blog, that SHE was taking 'GJ' to meet Debbie of Ellie's Dairy at the Farmer's Market held in the school yard, it is near to Parson's Green. Then they were going to lunch at Cote Brasserie. 

They were introduced, 'GJ' tasted that wonderful Goaty Curd and became a fan, just like that! 

Then they pottered off for lunch, clutching some goodly Goaty products and SHE was very pleased that SHE remembered to ask Debbie for some Kid meat which SHE will collect next Sunday at the Market in Marylebone.

The Brasserie was busy, good thing, SHE thought, that SHE had reserved a table. Well, that was what SHE thought initially.

But no-one came to see if they wanted a drink or 
to take their order. Having waited table at a couple of extremely busy restaurants, SHE knows it takes no time and very little effort to keep customers happy. 

SHE got up and asked a waiter to send someone to take their order. Sad that that had to be done but a customer wants to drink and eat, not just sit there!

"Two spicy Virgin Marys and two roast chicken please". 

The VM's were served in small glasses, with too little ice, no pepper, no salt.. sigh. Tabasco on the side.

The roast chicken was smothered in a sauce, the meat was dry, SHE should have realised that it would be pre-cooked. SHE should have had the steak, the pommes dauphinois were cold, the french beans over cooked.

Well, 'chef' is allowing inferior food to leave the kitchen, SHE won't go there again!

What a very good thing that the two old friends had lots to talk about!

'GJ' has two daughters, the eldest is the one she has been staying with in the Panamanian jungle and it is her daughter who will be writing of her life there with her family, which is going to be in the March issue of British Vogue. 

The magazine will be on sale in February, so YOU see that is why I wrote it is hot, because it is not yet in print!

Her name? Savannah Miller, yes, sister to Sienna. So YOU see the news is pretty hot, 'GJ', aka Jo, is their mother and YOU cannot get much closer to those two women than that! 

And yes, it is Sienna's daughter, Marlowe, who is HER twin, born on July 7th.

Chelsea were 'at home', kick off at 4pm. It was a sweet gesture of Jo to offer to drive HER home but it would have been a physical impossibility for the traffic was backed up goodness knows how far back. 

So SHE walked. With comfortable boots and a long stride, it took no time, SHE headed for the V&A to catch the Chinese exhibition but upon arrival in the museum, SHE found that HER museum entry card was at home.

Sometimes.. YOU just have to realise when it is time to go home.. home to a little grey bird.

GeeGee Parrot.
