Pub lunch

Unusually for us, we went for a pub lunch on a Saturday. I thought it would be very crowded, but in fact it was quieter than a weekday.
We were lunching with D and A, very old friends from the days when they worked for Shell. Having exchanged family news and tried to put the world to rights, they got onto remembering the good old days in Shell when the company was still based in the City of London, before the move to Shell Centre on the South Bank. So many memories!
The flowers outside still look very colourful, and on a sunny day like today when the sun felt quite warm, it was easy to imagine we were still in mid summer.
