Korean Food and Sir Frederick Seager Hunt

[Sunday 16th November]
(If anyone lands on this page having searched for both of the things in the title I'll be quite amazed!)

Spent more time researching Seager Evans, the one time Pimlico based gin distillers. I focused particularly today on Sir Frederick Seager Hunt, who ran the company from the 1870s to pretty much the end of the 19th century, as it turned out he was also an MP, and therefore it was somewhat easier to find out information about him. I added all of my findings to this wikipedia article, and was rather proud of the end result.

I was determine not to spent the entire day indoors though, so in the afternoon Chie and I headed out with the purpose of finding a Korean food shop. We originally considered going to New Malden - London's Korean district - but when we checked the train times it looked like they were doing maintenance on the rails or something. So instead we went to the Korean food shop next to Centre Point, Tottenham Court Road. It was pretty good actually, and made a nice break from the usual Japanese food shops we go to.

In the evening we had, unsurprisingly, kimchi nabe. Very nice.
