ZINAH

I don't know if I have told you this before, but I am a die hard Lord of the Rings fan, the books, the films and even the orchestra! The story, the characters, the place and the entire fantasy world is just so fascinating.

All my friends and family already know I'm crazy about the book & film series, so they always send me YouTube video links, articles and anything that relates to J.R.R Tolkien's work of art! What fascinates me about the stories is not what happens, it's more of how it happens, how the characters are described, the loyalty and friendship between the fellowship, the manhood, the bravery and oh the way they talk! There is no slang, no ridicule words, nothing inelegant or inappropriate.

I love the bromance between Frodo and Sam; it's so heart-warming, loving, compassionate and shows true friendship (which unfortunately this world nowadays somehow lacks). I am drool over the love Farmir has got for Eowyn (though not seen or mentioned in the films, there is almost a whole chapter dedicated to it in the final book).



As of pairing the trilogy with a dish…well the films last 9 hours and that requires not just a dish, but three set of meals! Breakfast, lunch and dinner! However, I didn't bother with that…I just had high tea with the first film and with the other two, I just had what everyone else would have whilst watching a film; popcorn, snacks and drinks!

As for the 'Food and Film' section of my blog, this is the end and the last post until further notice. I hardly have time to eat at home, let alone cook! I don't spend much time watching films anymore and I am always either at work or outside working on a project…I work 7 days a week, I blog during my spare time and any other free time I get is dedicated to writing articles for Aquila Style and designing. Time is just slipping by and it's scary!

Inshallah once I have more time (if that ever happens!) then I shall be doing the Film & Food again, perhaps not on regular bases like now, but on random occasions inshallah.

As the year comes to an end, I had to end this section with my favourite films of all times and I wish I could write more about it, but I may end up being boring and this post may as well be as dull as it can get haha

Organising an event, whether large or small, it's always challenging one way or the other. Hafsa and I organised a bloggers lunch, with few designers and instagrammers!

We all went to Chilli's at Whiteleys London and had Mexican food! It was so lovely seeing everyone again and meeting new lovely girls. There were goody bags involved, with goodies from H&M, Pearl Drops and MUA! The goody bag was designed by me and part of my upcoming fashion label ;)

Don't forget to check the girls blogs for more pictures of the lunch :)

Basically there is Columbia Road Flower Market every Sunday from 8am-2pm. However, during Christmas, they introduce Christmas Wednesday, open for 3 wednesdays only, where all the little vintage shops are open until 9pm, you have bands playing live music on the streets. Small cafe's selling nice and warm drinks and the whole place is full of people enjoying the warm atmosphere on a cold winter night!

I decided to go and see it at least once, just to explore and discover more of London. I will be exploring London from now on, sharing some nice places with you and finding little mysterious corners of London! I will be writing more about this in the near future inshallah, for now, enjoy the pictures!
