A Norfolk Dumpling in London

 

On Saturday, we had the very great pleasure of meeting up with Miss Katie and Vince Ray for dinner and getting a guided tour of her brand-new studio in Stokey. They'd spent the day hanging out in wood yards and building work benches, but still managed to put in a sterling showing at Clive's excellent party. It's so handy when (nearly) all of your friends live 5 minutes away from each other -- and get on well. If Rebecca and her ever-expanding family could move up north, life would be perfect.

The following morning, the sun streamed through the windows, waking us up early and with rather achey heads. Luckily, the Dolphin Square hotel actually has mini-apartments, complete with sitting room and tiny kitchen, so we nipped over to the mini-market on Lupus Street for the essentials, and had a proper (veggie) fry-up, tea, and chocolate digestives while reading (and bitching about) The Observer. It made me feel like I was in my mid-20s again. Sigh. Posted by Picasa
