An agreeable day
Aug. 18th, 2026 08:32 pmToday I met
cassandre for lunch - we had actually scheduled this for last Thursday but in view of the promised HEAT EVENT we rearranged.
We lunched at Honey & Co Daily, a deli/restaurant on the corner of Store Street and Alfred Place Gardens in Bloomsbury. Recommended.
Much catching up and good conversation.
We then flaneursed around Bloomsbury, commenting on whether Miriam/Dorothy Richardson in Pilgrimage would have passed through the places we did - doubt the Insect Hotel in Russell Square was there in her day - took in a ferret around Skoob Books, which still lurks behind the Brunswick Centre. Noted that there is also a new independent bookshop inside the Centre.
It was undoubtedly a much more pleasant day for the undertaking, even if the grass in the squares was still parched.
