Is it possible to have too much upper class....

Is it possible to have too much 5 star treatment?  Its something I think we all probably dream about - being famous and travelling first class, drinking champagne and having everyone running around after your ever need.  I am having that experience just now (except I am not famous!) and after the initial bit of fun and enjoyment of doing something out of the norm its beginning to become annoying.  I have a driver who asks me constantly if he can get me something, then the nice friendly staff in the production office also constantly ask if there is anything they can get me.  Don't get me wrong being looked after is so nice but I could ask for Beluga Caviar and they would bring it to me, that is just stupid!  and of course I would never ask for it.

so I travelled Virgin upper class and the chef would have made me whatever veggie meal i wanted with what he had in his supplies - how many flights have you taken where that happens?!  well for me NEVER! I had a lie down bed and free PJs to change into, but is it not odd to be in my Jammies lying stretched out in between two strange men?!  some women would love this but I found it odd to be trying to sleep in an upperclass cabin full of business men and women all dressed in the same Virgin PJ's then we all queued up in the morning in the one toilet to brush our teeth and wash our faces - that is definitely weird!

I am staying in a hotel which is full of the over privileged and so many of these privileged people have english accents.  We are supposed to be in recession so where do these english people get their money from?!

I move hotels on Wednesday into the city and I can't wait, this hotel is Magnolia - its bland and rich, full of bland rich people.  I wish they would just put me in a cheap apartment but its not the done thing.
yup I don't look like I am struggling that much with my big seat and my champagne glass but look at the big guy that I have to sleep next too.....

whilst doing our recce's and visiting lots of english looking gardens I met lots of dogs but this one stole my heart - I JUST LOVE BORDER COLLIES!!!


and the only bit of the city I have seen so far is from a backpackers roof terrace when we were looking for a roof location.... just suck up that blue sky!!!

I am heading into a stupidly busy week but if I get the chance will blog some more pictures of the city - probably at night as that is the only time I will have off!
