Breakfast in bed

Room service breakfast comes in boxes in Sloane Avenue, a surprise as I am sure that on their web site the breakfast came on a tray. But actually quite plentiful and nearly enough left over for tomorrow - with a fridge being supplied for such purposes.

The only catch being that they don't do newspapers with breakfast and the Sainsbury's Local just down the road which does, sells all the same sort of stuff to eat as well, at half the price.

And while I am usually quite sniffy about the bread from Sainsbury's, it was, on this occasion, better than the stuff which comes in a box.

But, to be fair, if you are fresh off the train or plane and are tired, it is quite handy to be able to settle for the box and crash out. Breakfast in the comfort of your own room in the morning and no need to search out the local grocer.

PS: the windows in the building concerned are the same model as those originally fitted to many houses in Epsom, including our own. But here the planning laws mean that they have had to settle for secondary double glazing, whereas we have ripped our old iron out.
