Yesterday's shopping trip was abandoned in the face of a fierce blizzard sweeping across Peckham Rye, redecorating Anthony Gormley's bollards in the process (on the corner of Fenwick Road, SE15).
The weary pilgrims knew that a terrible bad mood would descend if a coffee couldn't be had quickly. And lo they did remember that in Consort Road, Peckham, there stood a certain house known as the Frog on the Green.
And they did go unto that place and had a very good cup of coffee. Good food too - well it a deli as well as a cafe. Only a couple of tables inside, more outside but not many people sitting outside funnily enough.
They also have a little book swap shelf - if you get down there quick you might pick up a copy of Leonard Cohen's Beautiful Losers which I left there.
