Amber’s girlie lunch
Recently I was invited by a girlfriend of mine for lunch at a very smart Manchester restaurant. Now this friend knows nothing of my escort life but is extremely nosy. At one point during the lunch she began asking some searching questions which I was managing to deflect but was becoming a bit irritated by them. Enter the charming waiter. “Madame” he exclaimed “what a beautiful ring you are wearing!”. He asked me where I got it from, to which I replied that I had had the ring for a very long time and couldn’t remember exactly where it came from. He went on to explain that he was from Iran and where he came from, the stones in my ring were very precious and very special. He continued to fawn over my ring for several minutes and by the time he left the table my friend had forgotten what we were taking about before his arrival. Result!
What I did not admit to, either to the lovely waiter or my girlfriend, was that the ring was actually from Primark and cost the princely sum of £2!!!

Amber Manchester tourist
Again, I can’t believe how quickly time has passed by!
I have been entertaining a friend who is visiting from Australia since I returned from London so I’ve been a tourist in my own town. It has been quite interesting for me to visit places and see things from a different perspective. Manchester’s architecture is so diverse. From the ultra modern Urbis building to the Hidden Gem of St Mary’s Roman Catholic Church Manchester has so much to offer. I’ve had afternoon tea at the Midland Hotel, seen some jazz music, which isn’t really my thing but was very enjoyable, visited some of Manchester’s oldest pubs, including Peveril of the Peak. I went on the Big Wheel for a bird’s eye view of the city, which was fun! I even managed to spend a whole day in Manchester one day sight seeing without entering one shop! I know, incredible!
Have you seen this new website in the press? Www.rentafriend.com I might consider that as a sideline lol!
So once again, my bags are packed and I’m off on another journey. I am leaving for Glasgow this morning and will be available for escort dates from this evening 18 August until Saturday 21 August. From there, I will be heading over to Newcastle upon Tyne until Tuesday 24 August. It is a while since I’ve been there so looking forward to catching up.
Bye for now.
Back from London
I really don’t know where this week has gone to!
I got back to Manchester from London on Sunday and the week is nearly over already.
I had a super time in London. The weather was glorious and I enjoyed some lovely walks through Kensington Gardens when I had some me time. I was intrigued by the blue bikes I saw parked up in the park and have since learned that this is a brand new scheme in London nicknamed “Boris’s Bikes”. What a brilliant idea! You can rent a bike for free for half an hour, after that there is a low cost. This has been implemented to try and reduce congestion in London. I was tempted to have a go but I think they looked a bit big for me and I didn’t want to make an idiot of myself by falling off lol!
My time in London got off to a good start when, shortly after arriving I headed off to the local M&S for some provisions (i.e. wine). I spotted a young girl looking at me more than once. As we were about to cross the road, she came over to me and said “I just wanted to say I really like your outfit – you look lovely!” Wow! It is amazing how a little compliment like that can make you feel a million dollars!
Anyway I was really spoiled in London this time as I was taken to some fantastic restaurants. One restaurant I visited even had special “lady” menus with no prices on – how sweet!
I also dined at a restaurant that used to be frequented by Princess Margaret when she was courting Anthony Armstrong Jones. It was such a lovely restaurant with very discreet booths, perfect for a spot of flirting, and candles on the table at lunch time. The staff were quite dishy too!
On my last evening I dined at Babylon restaurant which was fab! We had our cocktails (Peppered Apple Martinis see above) overlooking three fantastic roof gardens sprawling over 1.5 acres! It has fully grown oaks and fruit trees and stream with wildlife including flamingos!
So after all that eating and drinking I’ve been a bit strict with myself this week and trying to hit the gym a bit more than usual. And tonight I have an escort date to another posh country house hotel for a celebratory birthday dinner. God it’s a hard life …
Anyway, look out for the meteors tonight!
Amber in London
I’m looking forward to visiting London again this week. I will be in Kensington from Wednesday 4 August to Saturday 7 August. My diary is pretty busy but I do have some availability. So if you would like me to escort you to dinner in some fancy shmancy restaurant or just come and visit me for an incall at my luxury hotel suite, give me a call.
Also, a reminder that I will be visiting Glasgow from Thursday 18 August till Saturday 21 August. I have decided to pop into Newcastle on the way home so will also be available there from Sunday 22 August to Tuesday 24 August.
Toodle pip!

Amber’s evening of culture
This weekend I went to an open air production of “An Ideal Husband” in Manchester. I was a bit worried about the weather as the day time was quite gloomy and threatened rain. However, as my party arrived at the venue complete with picnic blankets, lots of goodies and a seemingly endless supply of fizzy stuff, the sun appeared and stayed around for the rest of the evening. We began our picnic with the English custom of Pimms and Lemonade and sat back to watch the show…
“An Ideal Husband ” is a stage play written by Oscar Wilde in 1895 which revolves around blackmail and political corruption. But it is also a romantic play which touches on marital relationships. It is set in London in Grosvenor Square. The timing of our recent election and expenses scandal provided some relevant and witty parallels.
The play is peppered throughout with hilarious one liners, delivered by dramatic and strong characters. Some of the quotes are still used today. There are numerous complications, misunderstandings and crises which are dealt with in a very humorous manner.
The title in itself is ironic. There is no such thing as an ideal husband. The main character, Lord Chiltern is only ideal to his wife if he is flawless, but, of course, this is impossible!
I loved the way the theatre company used an “upstairs downstairs” theme to deliver a sort of layered storytelling to the play. The stage was a tiny bandstand. There were only five actors throughout and they moved easily from character to character with just a few props and accessories. Between scene changes they acted as servants, filling us in the gossip, really highlighting the hypocrisy of the High society figures of the era. You felt that you were at a private party, being looked after by the servants and that you were welcome to participate, which was fun!
There are so many wonderful quotes in the play but this is my favourite:
Lord Arthur Goring: I am glad you have called. I am going to give you some advice.
Laura: Oh pray, don’t. One should never give a woman something that she can’t wear in the evening.
Back from Dublin
I returned from Dublin at the weekend. I had a great trip and met some very sexy men. I have said it before and will say it again, Dublin guys really are something special!
Here is a funny story. One afternoon, I treated myself to some tea and cake and was sitting there checking my three phones (naughty, personal and Irish). I left the cafe, put my phones in the side pocket of my bag and began to walk back to the hotel when my friend Anna called. I was walking through the crowds chatting away, when I suddenly panicked and cried “Someone has nicked my Iphone!” I was just about to rush back to the cafe when I realised I was actually talking to Anna on my Iphone. Doh!
On the final day I went shopping, as is my custom. I was honoured to discover a new clothes shop called Amber. However, the window display did not entice me in. It appeared to cater to the mature lady. In the sales I bought the cutest little Vivienne Westwood handbag and these gorgeously fab, seriously FM shoes! I just love the three ankle straps, giving them a slightly fetishy feel.
I then went to be pampered at a very chi chi spa. I had a deluxe manicure and pedicure in a very pretty lilac colour. The staff really do look after you and they even polish your diamond rings for you and present them back to you on a little velvet cushion. How is that for service? Top marks for originality. The only problem was I didn’t have any flip flops with me so I had to go and have my lunch with plastic bags inside my shoes to stop my toes smudging. I got some funny looks but I just smiled back sweetly lol!
I know I say this every time I go to Dublin but I really will be back soon! If only to check out the wee Leprechaun Museum I spotted on my travels…
Amber is off to the Emerald Isle
After my last tip was scuppered by the volcanic ash debacle, I am delighted to be returning to Dublin this week. I will be available for escort dates in Dublin until Saturday 18 July. My Irish number is 0876 149117. Please be patient as my phone goes crazy when I’m in Dublin. Looking forward to some fun and frolics!
To cheer up a miserable Monday …
Good grief what has happened to the weather? It’s mid summer and I need to take my trusty umbrella everywhere with me at the moment. My Monday morning did not start off well when I got to the gym to discover my Zumba class had been cancelled as the teacher’s car had broken down boo hoo! I was soooo looking forward to it. They decided to replace it with a circuits class, which isn’t really my thing. A power walk with the pooch is on the cards for this afternoon if the sun comes out. Or maybe you prefer to imagine me with my red umbrella….
