Downs-pub

I gave a talk to sixth-formers at the Down’s School at Compton in Berkshire.  They are a bright lot, asking intelligent questions.  Afterwards I was taken for lunch with the head of economics and three of the students.  We went to the nearby Compton Swan, a pub-restaurant which serves pretty decent food.  We all chose from the bar menu, but ate in the restaurant part.  I chose garlic mushrooms with pan-fried chicken breast.  It was done just right with an extremely tasty sauce, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.  With it I drank a glass of Chilean merlot.  I didn’t see its name, which is a pity because it was velvety smooth as well as fruity.
