I went to Herne Hill last night to visit an old friend who I haven't seen in 5 years and we managed to pick up pretty much where we left off. Apparently I haven't aged but I know i've got fatter.
Herne Hill is nice, it lies around the delightful Brockwell Park which boasts a lovely lido for those intermittent summer days as well as a manor house atop a hill - probably Herne Hill. There are nice pubs in the area too - old victorian saloons brought into the urban trendy yet unpretentious 21st century styles. They are the kind of pubs where people sit alone by a fire reading a book and sipping a cider. My kind of pub.
Tonight I am going to a friend's in Vauxhall to be cooked chicken casserole and watch Jean Pierre Melville films, my earthy rioja should compliment this all as a real treat :-)
