July 13, 2008
After doing little more strenuous on Saturday than buy some cheese, chorizo and have a coffee at Beamish & McGlue we thought we'd venture out in the sun today and see if we could scare it back in.The Carshalton Lavender harvest sounded like a pleasant afternoon out... despite the engineering works doubling the journey time. And, to it's credit, it was scorching all the time we sat in the garden of the Woodman pub.
By the time we had wandered to the Stanley Road Allotments [to admire Paul Weller's prize marrow!] where said event was taking place it had clouded over but was still warm enough for a bit of lavender clipping and to buy some local honey. All very villagey [yet still in a predominately chavvy London suburb... Weird.]
After a brief sit down eating some honey cake and watching the bees go about their business we went back to the Woodman to try the lunches we had seen going by earlier. Roast beef, in a Yorkshire pud with gravy, roast spuds and three veg... £7.95. Ham, egg and chips, £5.50. Huge portions, very tasty [for a pub lunch] and nicely priced. Lovely staff too.
Bit sleepy now though. Going to try wrestling my camera's, books and a couple of pair of shorts into my rucksack in a bit, ready for the off on Wednesday. that should do me for a fortnight.
We watched Breach last night. Did this go straight to DVD here? Why? What a great film, Chris Cooper is awesome. For once I wished a film was longer, so that he could develop his character even more.
Also, saw Sideways again on Thursday at the Clapham Picture House with a Californian wine tasting before it. The wines weren't brilliant [on the whole] but watching the movie again, with a lot of equally pissed up fans, was a great laugh. I think it should be a regular event. That film gets better every time I see it.
