Autumn

Autumn has arrived in London, the coats are out and the leaves are falling off the trees.

Last Tuesday was Halloween, we had a couple of groups of kids from the Estate come round, cute rather than scarey.

On Wednesday I started an Introductory Wine Tasting course run by the London Wine Academy. There are about thirty five people in the class which is more than I expected. It is run in the City Club which is a very similar environment to Jason and Annie's wine club at the Masonic Club in Sydney. It was an interesting evening with a good mix of people.

I went to Late at the Tate at the Tate Britain on Friday Night with the London Art Club. The Turner prize is on at the moment. The four finalists are on display which were interesting, modern art which I didn't really get at all.

On Sunday I went to Bookgroup (Cloud Atas by David Mitchell) and then went to Fireworks in Victoria park. Hackney council had decided that they were not going to do Guy Fawkes this year as they did it last year and as the area is very multi cultural they would do a Bengali tale instead, it has been rather controversial and unfortunately it was hard to make out what was going on, the following fireworks were good.
