Work as if you live in the early days of a better nation

A Day of Engagement

It started with

Cedar Ring

That I made with my own hands from a cedar of Lebanon that lived in the grounds of Salisbury Cathedral

Cedar of Lebanon, Salisbury Cathedral

until it was blown down in a storm, and a shell

we collected from the beaches of east Sri Lanka.

I received in return

Yes

Time for a small spot of this

Marmite

On a bagel.

Then as part of a secret trip going to

Ginger Pig

For

T-bone

And La Fromagerie for

asparagus

Carrying with us this (inherited from the remnants of my father’s collection)

Pichon 1982

Of which Robert Parker claims: “thick, supple, velvety-textured, gloriously decadent, and hedonistic…If [you] need just one wine with which to impress someone, close a deal, or just experience the pleasures of wine, make it the Pichon-Lalande 1982…

Leading to me cooking an unforgettable meal here

For a perfect day to become engaged.
