Went to London this weekend. My sister-in-law's birthday. It was a weekend of childless bliss. The son was in France (Marseille to be exact doing something with the school, daughter doing a Duke of Edinburgh expedition in the Yorkshire Dales)
So it was champagne in the bar at St Pancras(heated seats and blankets to keep you warm no less). More champagne in Dirty Martinis in Convent Garden and blonde beer and mussels at Belgo
Saturday was spent mostly recovering from Friday's excesses and then into Guildford for drinks at The Slug and Lettuce and meal at Olivos. Our enjoyment of this whole hedonistic (and very expensive)binge was not spoiled by the best efforts of National Express East Coast and their engineering works.
London is my home and going back makes me miss it. We walked across the Thames to Waterloo to get the train out to Surrey (past Woking and yes I do look out for Stanley Road)and that made me remember this song from the late 1970s mod/rnb revival
MP3 Dirty Water- The Inmates
They were a solid hard working bunch of musicians playng straightforward RnB Pub rock. This is a cover of a song by a band from Boston- The Standells (thank you Mr Internet)
