Festivity Ahoy!

Saturday saw the greatest small scale event Shepherd's Bush has ever seen, maybe.

Myself and the K-Lady love Shepherd's Bush and we love ungodly amounts of festivity. We combined these with a twist to create arguably one of the best Christmas parties London has ever played host to.

We organised a treasure hunt from my house to hers with all the clues harboured by local establishments. My house welcomed festive revellers with eggnog and mulled wine so they could mull over the first clue and warm up after the bitter chill of the old December night.

I'll put some of the clues here and see if you can guess where the places are, I have reviewed them all on Qype, they are all independent establishments and all in Shepherd's Bush.

Here is the first:

The first of our tasks on this mystery tour,
Is a riddle to solve as your sip your liqueur.
We'll start with three things
and what it is links them up.
So open your ears and don't interrupt.

Thing one is a wall,
Maybe tall,
Maybe small,
Maybe not there at all.

Thing two is a hue.
Like grey or like blue,
Like brown or like green,
if you SEE what I mean.

Our third final thing three
begins with a C
It's a drink before bed
That's our final thing three.

With all three you'll find -
spelt phonetically mind -
you can add just one word.
You're allowed to confer
But watch, don't be heard!

The Bush's main street boasts
the craziest place
And it's there that you'll find
The next clue in the race!

I'll post more clues later......
