London Book Fair - Tuesday Evening - And yes, there was more eating

Its important in the middle of all this bad news to stop and smell the flowers, which is exactly what my colleague Maria Luisa from Verona decided to do.




Dealing with all the uncertainty is just plain exhausting. At the end of the day, a group of us who had come to London to represent Mondadori put business out of our minds and took a leisurely walk down London's side streets, in search of some place to have dinner.






I designated myself "Leader in Search of a Cute Place to Eat" and marshaled the group which included Italians who were too cold to eat outside, a Brit who need to stop for a cigarette break, and a noisy American like myself who was GETTING REALLY HUNGRY NOW.



We settled on an Italian restaurant serving Buffalo chicken wings, and everyone was happy.


And then sad, because really we did have an awfully good time together, despite all the gloom and doom, and these times when we can all be together are too short.
