Italian at Paddington

Back in London after our marvelous five-day birding trip to Norway (starting here with a lovely owl if you haven't seen it). We had a restful afternoon to recover from the exertions of our trip, and ate near our hotel close to Paddington station--enjoying both the food (fettucine con verdure and ravioli spinaci) and a bottle of Montepulciano--reasonable after Norway's very high prices for alcohol (a beer was about $11).

England's exiting match with Ukraine is just over--they won (1-0) and thus finished first in their group ahead of France--so the latter have to face Spain in the quarterfinals.
