IDLER ACADEMY
by Jez Bond
I just spent a lovely evening at the Idler Academy, where Melli hosted a discussion between Sir Timothy Ackroyd and journalist / BBC foreign correspondent Frank Gardner. It was a fascinating event, with many stories of travel and politics. From German backpackers and trains from Cairo to the current situation in the middle east. Some distinguished guests. Very funny when I started telling Penelope Wilton about the theatre and she replied “is that the one in Finsbury Park?”
Odd pizza afterwards – corn dough – tasted more like pastry. Heavy as anything but we were hungry! Home now, midnight fast approaching.
