Devil's Dyke to Washington
Friday 26th October 2018
The next instalment of my walk along the South Downs Way - this time from the Devil's Dyke to Washington, from where I got the bus to Pulborough, allowing me to recreate what is now becoming a tradition of chips and English sparkling wine on the train on the way home.
Xi'an Cuisine
Saturday 27th October 2018
We didn't really know what we wanted to do with ourselves today, so in the absence of any other plan I decided we should go and try another Xi'an cuisine restaurant, this time Xi'an Impression just off the Holloway Road.
Sunday
Sunday 28th October 2018
Another day which lacked planning. My original suggestion of heading out into the countryside for lunch at a country pub met with the compromise of a stroll across Hampstead Heath and lunch at one of the pubs around there. At Erika's insistence that then was further revised to lunch at the Assembly House in Kentish Town (not particularly close to Hampstead Heath), and ultimately the stroll across the heath was abandoned when Erika met up with a friend, and went to her place to carve pumpkins. I initially set out to the heath regardless, then was thwarted by a sudden downpour, and some amount of lethargy.
Halloween
Wednesday 31st October 2018
Took Erika out trick or treating, then later on I headed over to Little Venice to see Ricardo.
