Lunch – at a Korean Restaurant

20131109-134003.jpg

Diana and I were looking for somewhere different for lunch – there is plenty of choice in Soho. We chose Korean and opted for some set menus so we got a range of food – as we had no idea what to order!

Cooking my pork at the table

Choosing the set meal was a good idea as we got a bit of everything – including a miso soup for starters. This was just the kind of “different” restaurant we were looking for – meal was delicious, with the added theatre of them cooking at the table.

Walking in Ostler’s Plantation – Woodhall Spa

I have the day off today (although I have a list of phone calls and emails I have to get through) – so I took the opportunity to go walking in the woods around Woodhall Spa and do the work from there. No point being a business that uses the Cloud and then being stuck in the office.

The weather is great for walking and the low November sun is doing some great things with the shadows and the autumn leaves.

I started this post, this morning but I have finished it at home as I was struggling with getting an internet connection.

I saw the cobwebs, in the photo above, early in the morning, the meadow was covered with them, all covered in dew.

I had taken lunch with me, and found a quiet place just off the path with a suitable stump to sit on. The ground, leaves and pine needles were very wet but I had taken my poncho with me which made a good seat.
