  After an amazing day filled with art galleries and West End musicals it only seemed right to top it all off with a luxurious meal. It was with this in mind that I had made a reservation at Moti Mahal Restaurant in Covent Garden, which was just a short walk from the theatre.

The Last Week In Photos – Fishing, Food & Falmouth Week

  After last weeks post, I thought I’d do it again and put up another quick write up of last week’s highlights.
