Places to eat

I strolled along the river the other day, and met these two swans. They were very keen to make my acquaintance, but since I had no treats for them, they lost interest quickly enough.

They are so large and kinda scary up close, so you don't get a lovely portrait of their faces or close-ups of their great big feet!

At the end of the common, there is a very fancy restaurant. We have not eaten there.

I was surprised to see that there are now giant stone apples on the pillars outside. Apparently they are quite new. Interesting...

Just down the was is the Fort St George, the pub we used to take the kids to in 2005, and still a lovely place to sit outside in the nice weather, and cosy inside as well. Perhaps we'll have a Festive meal there before we leave, a touch of English Christmas!
