57. From Chelsea to Hollywood

16th February, Hollywood Arms, Chelsea, London


-Hello, my name is Me and I'm a Made In Chelsea Addict.

I swear, I have it under control. It's not like I will cancel dates on Monday nights to get home in time to watch my favourite Chelsea crowd. And it's not like I will immediately switch to E4+1 at 11pm to watch it again. And I have most certainly never googled 'Made + In + Chelsea + Jamie + Lucy + Together'  to see if those love birds will finally get together. They need to understand that they are meant to be.

I swear, I have it under control. Really.

So maybe it so happens that the one time when I walked past Hugo Taylor at Brinkley's I may have gone 'Hey Hugo, how's it going?' and only realised after several minutes of polite small talk that this was not actually an acquaintance of mine I just had difficulties placing. And maybe, just maybe I was so star struck when I saw Millie Mackintosh in Peter Jones that one time that I ran outside and called my then flatmate screaming 'I saw Millie! She was beautiful!'.

But I have it under control. I do.

I tend to get a lot of inspiration from the show when I venture out in West London - I am a Shoreditch girl after all and can't say I'm as much of a Chelsea expert.

It may be that my insisting on going to Hollywood Arms for Sunday roast with the Camel was somewhat based on the fact that it is where Spencer got ditched by the Russian girl. But mostly, a girl has got to eat right? Plus I have like 7 more venues to tick off the MAde in Chelsea list!

In all fairness, it is a lovely pub. Really cute venue, super comfy chairs and really has that old Victorian pub feeling to it. The bloody Mary's were fantastic and the roast was really delicious and perfect start to a boozy Sunday.

And a boozy Sunday it became. All in the spirit of stalking the Made In Chelsea cast. This includes standing on Battersea Bridge trying to look deep into thought. Probably not about something more complex than the number of calories in a glass of champagne, but when in Chelsea you do as the Chelseans do.

Wrapping up at the Botanist with bubbles - it was the perfect Sunday afternoon with the lovely Camel.

And Hollywood Arms - I will be back. Please make sure fit Andy is there that time.
 

I love a bit of roast with a side of posh

No Sunday without the Mary's
