The first Brunch Club gathering of 2019 was on Sunday 10th February at Arepa & Co, 254 Paradise Row, London E2 9LE.

Back in 2013, I celebrated a decade of blogging with an awards ceremony. One of the winners of those awards - voted for by this blog's readers and my social media followers - was the incomparable Lolo Brow.
