Pret's egg salad with cress was such a welcome option in my days of business travel.
Somehow I got the idea that the Poetry Foundation was not doing events anymore, but here they are with a roster of events. www.poetryfoundation.org/events

Painting in a naive style of a female figure in a forest setting wearing a burgundy gown, carrying a sprig of garland in her right hand and holding with her upraised left hand a large French flag that is flapping behind her. A lion is sitting at her feet. Henri Rousseau - The French republic (circa 1904).
