Animal Nightlife


When we first moved to the area there was  just one pub that any discerning local would go to, The Bricklayers Arms on Charlotte Street. Nowadays, it seems  a new  drinking establishment opens every day. The Hoxton Pony  on Curtain Road is the latest temptation employing a sleek and shiny fit out to attract the (not so) locals in.  The reason I mention it here is a couple of days ago two glamorous envoys from said bar knocked on our studio door bearing gifts. The rather large  box contained a simple selection of scones and jam.  Someone less kind than I commented that the bites were as stale as the bar's decor. However, I am not one to look a gift horse in the mouth.
