nylon back in action

back in the uk and lovely to have someone pick me up from the airport. as you ought, first stop after a red eye - brewery tour. 

gorgeous hake, bouillabaisse, mussels from raphael's 
at the good shed, a converted old rail station

farewell to kent and off to london town, where the only tourist thing i was able to manage was to get to the tower of london for the tower poppies. until november 11, volunteers will be planting ceramic poppies outside the tower of london's moat area to remember the lives lost in world world one a hundred years ago.
