Skylon 2

Another late lunch at the Skylon with Romy. This time we ate in the grill section. Romy started with asparagus and a soft poached egg and sauce on top, and I had the most delicious terrine which we both tried and loved. Romy went on to a rather nice fish dish and I had a lamb chop on very nice buttery polenta with tiny green beans, absolutely superb and perfectly cooked. Romy sensibly stuck to strawberries and cream, while I overindulged in a wonderful creme brulee. We finished off with some excellent coffee, with fewer petits fours than last time - perhaps because we were in the grill section.

Afterwards we went out and investigated all the possibilities for an outing on the wheel. Seems they are well geared for a large disabled party but recommended we leave it until early October as the pods can become very hot. Also very full, so we should make an early start in the morning. As we came out there were quite a few very good living statues, as in Barcelona - must tell Belle about these unless she has already seen them.
