RSA Animate

RSA Animate is a series of video  lectures, 'vision videos', where lectures from some of the  worlds most inspiring thinkers are accompanied  by a video  of real  time  drawing illustrating their points.

Very worthwhile and engaging, my favourite is below.

Terroirs Wine Bar and Restaurant

I took my family to  Terroirs  on a Friday evening in summer  for  a  meal, and  luckily we had  a table for two hours.It is a short walk from Charing Cross Station.

The wine list is extensive, the food is amazing. 

I had some of the best snails for starters along with some clams  in a lemon and garlic sauce. For main I had black pudding, fried  eggs, potatoes and broad beans, nom nom nom. My mum and brother had some  Bavette, skirt steak.They didn't even ask how you wanted it done, you get it rare. It was amazing or as my  mum put it 'out of this world'(though she uses this term quite a lot)

Highly recommended, the staff were lovely, the décor is relaxing, and under £40 per  head.
