Last night we wandered down to Battersea Square for dinner at a little Italian restaurant. There are about four restaurants to choose from plus a lovely little sandwich shop which is where I buy lunch each day.
Day two is still proving challenging. I haven't accessed the readings so feeling a little 'out to sea' but I manage to fumble my way through and, as with any course, there are always one or two participants who love to hold the floor, so all is good. Margie and Elena, who is from Ireland, have become confidantes and assure me that my feelings of inadequacy and uncertainty are completely normal! Unfortunately I'm having a couple of 'meltdowns' but thankfully they are when I'm back at the hotel. Yesterday on my return to the hotel I went straight to the bar and ordered a Sav Blanc......today when the barman sees me coming, he has the wine on the bar waiting for me! I must be looking really frazzled.
Tonight we take the hotel shuttle, which leaves for Clapham Junction every 30 minutes, then after a few navigational issues manage to find our way to Battersea Rise where we have booked to dine at "Entree". What a surprise! We are greeted with a taster of asparagus soup with fresh baked baby bread rolls. We then share two entrees - pork rillette and crab cakes with caviar. This is followed by sea bass, swordfish and lamb, which is all delicious. Chocolate fondant with honeycomb ice cream (two to share) finishes off the night. The cost is GBP120 which includes a cocktail, two glasses of wine and a tip....definitely recommend! Our driver picks us up from the station and we are soon home in bed.
