Heath with Erika
Sunday 6th December 2020
Managed to persuade Erika to come to the heath with me with the promise of an ice cream. So we sat together for a while at my favourite spot, the barrow, having ice cream / lollies (despite near freezing temperatures) followed by some more Nuit St Georges. Lovely.

Erika as we headed to the ice cream van.

14:22:17
Having bought our ice creams (you can just about make out the ice cream van behind us) we took advantage of the cold weather (thus the fact they wouldn't melt in a hurry) and walked from there to the barrow.

I brought along this 2013 Nuit St Georges from the same mixed case that yesterday's excellent 2005 had come from. I'd had this before earlier this year, and although still very pleasant and wasn't quite as instensely fragrant as last time given these serving conditions. Needed to be slightly warmer!

We stopped by this tree near the top of Parliament Hill for a bit so Erika could have a swing.

15:33:57
...and I could watch a bit more of the sunset.
