Third birthday of the month so far

Dessert at Bancone (near Charing Cross) was a dark chocolate parfait with blackberries. We celebrated Orla's 23rd birthday with dinner (including cocktails) on the last night before London goes into a new lockdown - where even a substantial meal isn't enough reason to be allowed out.

After Helen's birthday (1st December), then Gus's (9th), and now Orla's, we have a 10-day break until Christmas, but I am not sure the the anticipated relaxation of the lockdown for five days over Christmas will let us return to pubs or restaurants....
