Secret Weapon

My friend John came round today and we went into Stratford for a fine lunch and chat at Bella Italia.  We then had a slow walk round before ending up in Pret for a coffee.

The theme for today's Mono Monday hosted by Carolina is Secret Weapon.  That had me pondering, not an easy subject to portray. Finally I settled on a cooking metaphor.  I keep a cupboard full of herbs and spices, these are my Secret Weapon towards a tasty meal!
