Hi all,
Do you remember ages ago I said that me and my good pal Jamie O had been short listed then nominated for a prestigious award? Well we only bloody won it! Absolutely delighted to be awarded ‘Best Presenter’ for our BBC 2 doc ‘Blind ambition’. I’ve never won anything before in my life! Also got to go to a glitzy award ceremony. Have to admit to the hubris of feeling pretty bloody good! x

! Viva Mexico! From all at Viva Mexico.
Many confuse Mexican Independence Day with Cinco de Mayo but the country's actual independence day is Sept. 16. Celebrations in Mexico and the U.S. traditionally start on Sept. 15 with ‘El Grito’ and carry on into the 16th.
We are open from 4pm today and opening for lunch (12-2) and dinner (6-9.30) on Saturday.
