We were up in London for the afternoon yesterday and the girls went off to do a bit of clothes shopping around Notting Hill, of course the boys didn't really fancy that and decided that a little "pint shopping" was in order so we decamped to the "Lore of the Land" in Fitzrovia for a couple of delicious "House Parties" from Norwegian brewers Lervig (see above). When in Stavanger the year before last (2023) I visited the brewery tap there and had a pint of "fresh" Lervig beer and a fine brew it was too, and very nice people serving also!
Once finished the girls met us in the pub and we tucked into some bar snacks, a couple of rather delicious scotch eggs made from duck and a bowl of roasted new potatoes with a nice garlic dip, all very good. We left the pub around 6pm and headed over to Paddington to catch the train home, unfortunately there were a bunch of very noisy people in our carriage who had spilled out of the Tommy Robinson protest that was going on in Westminster, I got the impression that they'd "had a few" but to be honest they we in pretty good spirits and didn't interfere with anyone, in fact the Arsenal football supporters, also on their way home, were a lot more objectionable. Anyway, we got home nice and early around 7:30pm and had enough time to cook up some dinner and watch a movie, all in all, a pleasant day out!
