More soccer and old friends...

Saturday in London continued with more socialising, starting with a lovely brunch at Le Pain Quotidien in South Kensington with two old school friends, Julie & Jodi. Once again it was great to catch up with people I hadn’t seen for a while and the organic pain au chocolat was pretty good too!


It was then back to the hotel to add some layers and then head out to the soccer. We saw Chelsea at home to Sunderland, and while it was a bit of a one-sided game with Chelsea winning 7-2, the atmosphere was fantastic and it was better than watching a nil-all draw.

We returned to the hotel for a quick shower and change then the socialising continued with a dinner with Brooke, a Sydney EY pursuits person currently on secondment to global, at a local pub, the Kensington Arms, then we met the rest of the group for drinks & dancing at Kensington Rooftop Gardens, Richard Branson’s club for the rich and beautiful, which is just around the corner from the hotel. Another fun night was had by all and it was very tough to get up for the early start the next morning.
