Welcome to the Ivy

It’s really rather tragic that I feel I have to spend time in the gym before I get to enjoy toast and coffee with a friend in the Ivy, but that is what happened this morning.

I was surprised how busy the city was at 10 am and particularly the restaurant. We usually meet so early the latter is always relatively quiet, but not today.

My afternoon is being devoted to watching Wimbledon tennis which makes such a welcome change from football.
