may 22; after some south bank sketching, simon and i went across waterloo bridge to drury lane for a quickish beer and croque monsieur in the lowlander cafe. They have a large selection of belgian and dutch beers; i asked if they had one of my all-time favourites, charles quint, as it wasn't on the menu. i'd been introduced to this tough but tasty drink many years before in charleroi, by a burly sailor from antwerp who said he could drink no more than two of them, and i've never seen the drink outside la belgique. Well the waitor said you're in luck mate, I have some charles quint of my own, and would gladly share with a fellow appreciator. He didn't have the special cup though. But it was still good. I forget what simon had, but it had an interestingly unusual name. And below, a pic I did near drury lane, is this broad court or martlett? i can't remember. Answers on a postcard.
later that afternoon, across the river
