A perfect day. Ah, springtime methinks, breakfast at Leila’s Shop, followed by a mosey around Labour & Wait, then a toss up between exploring the stacks either in the British or in the London Library followed by a visit to a bookshop, perhaps Hatchards, Assouline, or Claire de Rouen or Gay’s the Word, prior to meeting for lunch which could be a bag of goodies from Honey & Co and sitting on a bench in a tucked away wee spot or park, or a Welsh rarebit in the bar at St John, or being even more convivial in the restaurant. Perhaps pondering Bouchon Racine or Brutto for dinner. Is there a lunchtime performance at the Wigmore Hall? And if so, might a wander through the Wallace Collection after be a happy thought, of course. The others being full, a happy find was a table at Noble Rot for an early dinner followed by a gentle walk through Bloomsbury and if the crowds have abated and the doors still open, ponder a visit to the British Museum. And to conclude, an always enjoyable visit to Ciao Bella on Lamb’s Conduit Street, though there is a thought for a nightcap on home turf at Quo Vadis.
