Out Shopping Today,

but before then,

 Diana was fascinated by the ice,

 and marvelled at what was normally water,

 that we pass almost everyday,

 we made our way past the church,

 the snowdrops putting on a good show,

 the hostas still covered with frost, 

 and this was where we were going, 

to Crystal Palace to call into Crystal Palace Antiques, we were looking for a drinks cabinet, alas no luck with that, but we did buy a art deco mirror and small cabinet, which will be delivered over the weekend,

 in the evening we were out, 

 walking past the church,

 which was nicely illuminated,

 we were on our way to Bromley to meetup with Mahendra and his wife Asmita for a meal, 

 at the Crown on Mason's Hill, Mahendra treated us to a wonderful meal, many thanks Mahendra,

 then a surprise, the owner Rin called by to say hello and treated us not only to a round of drinks, 

 but a round of Indian desserts, and delicious they were too,

and a surprise, you get to keep the bowls and lids they come in! after the meal Mahendra dropped us off home, on the way Indian music was playing in his car and I mention that literally this morning I was listening to,

 Eena Meena Deeka as I was writing the blog, Mahendra knew both the male and female artists that performed the song, arriving home and after thanking him and saying out farewells, we had a few from Poirot and then for us we were of to bed.
