The Log Burner


The log burner is going full blast again.
Mary and her trusty rubber chicken lie warming themselves until they steam
The radiators are working again and the thermal store is full of boiling water 
The cottage has been properly warmed back into life again.

Tomorrow I’m off to London. 
Last year I bought Nu and I tickets for the Royal Ballet 
Romeo and Juliet at the Royal Opera House 
How lovely is that? 
I’m meeting her at Dishoom Covent Garden 

I’ve missed her so recently

  10. The Dishoom's menu looks delightful and not too pricey either. Have another lovely time down in The Smoke.

    Ah, glorious heat and Mary plus that chicken seem to be basking in paradise. So glad the cottage is warm again.
    Have a lovely time with Nu in London, at the Dishroom, and at the Ballet. Bliss.
    Safe journey there and back home.

    Hugs!
