For example, I hadn&#8217;t been in South Kensington for ages until last night; I found myself there again, today.<\/p>\n<p>I took younger son &#8211; currently on an extended involuntary leave of absence from school &#8211; to the Natural History Museum. It was that or sit at home with him doing homework, which I&#8217;ve done plenty of, of late.<\/p>\n<p>We had a lovely time. It&#8217;s a really interesting place, fusing the old and the new of museums to good effect, in lovely surroundings (pictured above).<\/p>\n<p>Then, this evening, it was time for a convenors meeting for the London Gastronomy Seminars. These convenors meetings are no great hardship: the five of us have an exceptional dinner at Bronwen and Francis Percival&#8217;s place in Borough Market, and discuss ideas. We also drink some wine.<\/p>\n<p>Tonight, two very nice bottles with dinner. <strong>Tenuta delle Terre Nere Etna Rosato 2009<\/strong> is one of the best Roses I&#8217;ve had in recent years, with a beautiful sappy elegance to the subtle cherry fruit. And <strong>Clos de la Roilette Fleurie 2009<\/strong> shows why the 2009 Beaujolais are so highly regarded. It&#8217;s showing pure dark cherry fruit with lovely grainy structure and good acidity. Both wines were beautifully drinkable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s a weird thing, but I often find myself returning to places in London in rapid succession.
