Ardbeg

[Thursday 30th November 2023]
Had a wee dram of an old bottle of Ardbeg I'd had hanging around for ages.

I think it probably has suffered a bit from being open too long?

MOT and More Black Dog Hill on the Heath

[Friday 24th November 2023]
We took the car for its MOT in the daytime, and while we were waiting availed ourselves of the nearby shops and eateries. Later on I went for Black Dog Hill on the heath at sunset.

[Friday 17th November 2023]

Belgravia

[Thursday 16th November 2023]
Went down to Belgravia to visit the dentist. As is tradition I went for pizza at Oliveto afterwards, which is temporarily housed in one of the Olivo group's other restaurants owing to a fire earlier this year.

Cooking in the Garden

[Saturday 11th November 2023]
I think the girls must have been out all day today - I went to the heath for a bit in the afternoon / early evening, then back at home decided on a whim to have a little fire in the back garden and cook my dinner on it.

St Albans

[Friday 10th November 2023]
Spent the day in St Albans doing a "collab" with another "YouTuber". Only took one photo though!

Pub Research

I assume I would have spent today at home doing pub research ahead of my Kensington pub video.
