Strawberry Snaps: June

we started june in sorrento yo
then it was time for more pizza at London pizza festival.
after we were pizza-ed out*, it was time for afternoon tea
(hello kitty is our bff now fyi)
we finished off the month eating food (again) for daddy's day at Quaglino's
OH and a bunch of selfies thrown in too.

*the strawberry sisters are never pizza-ed out. this phrasing was just for dramatic effect.
