Saturday. Arrival via plane. Last few days before we head back to vote.
Walking up to the sounds of waves sadly ends.
Drive to the airport along costal route was a bit more exciting than QB, the driver, wanted for due to torrential rain.
Another meal by our chef, beef noodles followed by dessert,valrona chocolate, hazelnut from Alba, raisins.


Sunday. Much colder. High forties to 50 F
Breakfast at Fisher’s. Expensive but good value. Becoming one of our favorites for a fine brunch. On Marlybone High for those who might wish to visit. Reservations suggested even for breakfast/brunch.



British museum, special exhibit, I dissent, curated from the museum. Passed it on September. Glad we went today. Objects from their archives. The curator govern free reign to assemble.

One example:

Dinner, possibly a few too many roasted veggies for me.

And of course pizza a la Bobby.
Monday. British library day. Another special exhibition.
WOW.
30 second website overview.
We spent 2 1/2 hours walking through and sort of rushed at the end. Rash due to brain overflow. Had to get a cup of tea.
Tuesday. Final blog day. Tomorrow linneaus talk at Royal academy them packing etc. Likely a final doombar.
QB spent most of today trying to recover from a cold. Then, dinner at Twist with Bobby. Excellent restaurant. Will go back next trip.
Some food pics to end the blog.




Street!!!
Marylebone High Street!
You Americans lack precision.
Folks will likely wonder what the lovely white dumpling thingies are. They are gnocchi stuffed with Périgord black truffle cream.
This was followed by Iberico pork loin in demi-glace with burnt mushroom cream. And then wonderfully crunchy, but cooked, Brussel sprouts with almond and parm. Finally there was wagyu steak with girolles mushrooms.
Quite a meal. The only small flaw, for me, was that the Padrone Peppers were very large and lacked the subtlety of flavour that we prize them for. But we ate them all nonetheless.
Very well summarized. We also had cerviche scallopd with prawns and the very fine ricotta stuffed flower.
