Yep. Was surprised it was so recent. It'd be nice to see a third series where Simon and Esther transition to living on the Isle of Wight and then they can end the the episodes.

Just finished watching the last one. That was rather lovely. It'd be great if they carried on.
Possibly. I suppose if one digs deep enough in the local authority planning section, the answer could be found.
Video Time!

As for the "well heeled" Regent's Park Road; a perfect example of a London I don't enjoy passing through. Full of over priced bakeries and coffee places with no soul or character. Probably approaching a tenner a pint in the pubs too.
I'm wondering what needs to be housed in a huge black cabin in the middle of a street (02:36) and the lozenge shape in the ground next to it.
Yep, it was indeed a pub. The Adelaide Tavern.

Lovely.
I still favour the V-sign when the need for it presents itself.
