Love that porridge and the bowl it is served in — yumBreakfast at the Raffles.
Order off the menu supposedly but the waiter asked what I didn’t like or was allergic to and served me pretty much everything else. Never eaten so much. First the mezze, then the pastries, then the meat platter followed by granola and fruit and then porridge. I was full to the brim and he still asked if I wanted waffles or pancakes. Staff wait on you hand and foot and you pretty much have 1 staff member per table.

That’s lovelyFor the Richmond football club fans from Ted Lasso.
There is a little jewelry store in the laneway where Ted Lasso comes out of his apartment, and I’ve been going there for years to buy earrings because I have some quite different things.
I went in today and of course bought some more earrings and had a chat to them about what changes have happened because of Ted Lasso and she said the footfall has been quite increased and there are people doing tours around the area.

I am sure that a lot of people that were in the pub were there because of Ted Lasso because there were a lot of people taking photosThat’s lovely
I like stories like this where locals get some gentle benefit that enriches
As British drama fans of a certain vintage husband and I always seek out places whose shows we love. Last UK trip - Grantchester (in the actual town of same name) and the remaining beehive kilns in Stoke-on-Trent Gladstone Museum (Pottery Throw Down).I am sure that a lot of people that were in the pub were there because of Ted Lasso because there were a lot of people taking photos
