A funny old week
... not actually called Frank!) and he’s been so happy that we’ve taken loads of people there, he sent over a bottle of Bailey’s to the table towards the end to say thank you, shared between about 8 of us that were left, very happy!!
Sunday we’d arranged to go to a brunch arranged by a contact of ours who is in the fine wine business, he was doing a dim sum brunch accompanied by Beaujolais, again for just under a tenner. ...

Beijing 5: Serenity, now! (aka Riding the Rails)
... Tibet just shows that the tourist dollars trump politics. You’ll recognize the temple not by what you can see of it (it’s walled off and the entrance faces an inside parking lot), but rather the heavy smell of incense burning coming from a row of shops dedicated to selling the stuff to visitors.
