Betty Boo, where are you?

Boop actually, and she's at Pinder's place cafe, Bold Street, Southport. We love going there for hotpot or soup during exhausting shopping trips. Pay it a visit, for the pies and the sparkly golden loo.

Later on, Sam and I left the intrepid Mrs P to fend for herself and the boys, whilst we gadded off up to the 34th floor of Panoramic for the launch of a proper book with an ISBN. Then and now. mv is a star! I'll have to do the link later. The view from up there was stunning, and the book looks fab.

We finished with a late pizza in a deserted City centre, but with great company and much to celebrate. Great to see an old friend again too.
