BEN’S BLOG: ‘Peter Sweets’

[dropcap]O[/dropcap]ne of my favourite afternoons out, in London, is to go to the outdoor, heated, Better lido, in Endell Street, Holborn.

And after bobbing up and down in the water, whilst others race up and down, doing strenuous lengths, I love coming out of the building, doing a left, and heading up to Peter Sweets, and his fabulous little stall, at Seven Dials, in Covent Garden.

Peter’s been selling sweets for 50 years, and tells me, that he’s got the freshest and juiciest, in all of London town. When you think, Blog, about the ennndlesssss corporate and Facebookery dross, that they serve up, in this area now, it’s only a pleasure, to be able to support such an independent operator. MARCH ON, PETER.

In other news:

I watched Casino Jack last night. The film opened, with Kevin Spacey, looking into a mirror, and reciting this monologue. It nearly brought tears to my eyes. I THOUGHT IT WAS ME.

Over and out, B x
