Pierre Damoy 2010 Gevrey Chambertin
Friday 6th November 2015
Rustled up a quick dinner of the remainder of the tagliolini I'd brought back from Italy, with a simple sauce made using some of the dried Porcini I also bought while I was there. Served with the Pierre Damoy 2010 Gevrey Chambertin Mum had sent.

New Layout
Saturday 7th November 2015
Tidied the flat in the morning, and Chie decided to move the dining table from the corner of the lounge to the kitchen. Went for lunch at our local cheap and cheerful pasta place, then ice cream, then in the afternoon met up with Beatrice and her parents, a friend of Erika's from her previous nursery.

Huntingdon and Godmanchester
Sunday 8th November 2015
Recently I've been feeling a bit of a draw to the countryside, and have been toying with the idea of maybe buying a house in the country again. Given my office will be moving to Kings Cross next year, it seemed like a good time to start exploring places along the train line from there. So today we gave Huntingdon / Godmanchester a go.
