Would you try frog’s legs?

This is my #SimonStares at frog’s legs in garlic butter at Josephine Bouchon by Claude Bosi in the Chelsea neighborhood of London while dining with my pal Dino. So delicious. One of my favorites.

The Anchor & Hope has been one of my favorite Gastropubs in London. I haven’t been there in a while so it’s good to get their roast beef rump topped horseradish cream and a side of buttered greens and goose fat roast potatoes. My kind of lunch.

Meeting with four close friends from my time at University studying Theology. I had not seen any of them, except Jane, for 40 years. All three men are Anglican priests now. Jane & I took another direction. It was so good to see them all after all these years.
