Storms = Hot Chocolate

Dear Reader,

The pressure is dropping (or rising?) and the regular wind has turned gusty and the clouds are extraordinarily ominous. Which means I am thinking about one thing and one thing only... hot chocolate.

We had this cup with churros in Madrid several months ago. I can't remember where the restaurant/churro house/cafeteria was located. It had a gorgeous metal interior like a submarine. We had to catch our plane soon after eating these.

Nice BBQ at Anchor and Hope


We are very fond of this pub, The Anchor and Hope, by our canal. Today after the blackberry harvest (more on that soon) we stopped by to have a pint and sit canal side. We were pleasantly surprised to see that they have a bbq operation up and running on sunny weekends. Christoph had a lovely stilton and leek sausage in a roll and I had the cumberland in a roll. Then some lady jumped into the canal and went for a swim. Personally, I don't think swimming in the dirty canal is very appealing, but to each their own.
