love is the answer
That was so much fun 
Thanks for hosting, Ms T - I think this must've been the most civilised bookgroup yet - sitting at a table with plates and eating! 
. It was lovely to see everyone and the nosh was truly delish.
I am thinking we need to start a 2010 Brixton Bookgroup thread, but for now, December/January's book is:
'Tamara Drewe' by Posy Simmonds.
This is a graphic novel, built up from the weekly strips in the Guardian by Posy Simmonds: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamara_Drewe, and is based on Far From The Madding Crowd (I didn't realise this!).
It's a RIPPING GOOD YARN, entertaining, funny, emotional and unputdownable (well, I think so anyway
).
Happy Christmas and enjoy! XxXxX

Vacherin Mont D'Or - king of cheeses. Thanks to sk for bringing it, and to everyone else for the other deliciousness.

just tried waitrose and they don't have it - are there any cheese shops near white city?

Are you having a laugh? I'm surprised they don't have it at Waitrose, tbh. I think I saw some in Spoon deli on New Park Road the other day but don't quote me on that.

yeah, nell has some apparently. trying to get a mate to pop up the road to grab me some, but they have a new born baby to contend with.

I've still got a hangover from last night. Cheers for having us around Ms T.
I got the cheese in Leadenhall market, it's about 5 mins from bank if you can brave the suits.

I didn't at all, the rest of the food was lovely.

I read four of the books from last year, each one in time for the group, and never made it.

I'm interested. But it's yet another thing I'll probably fail to get to 
I may well have missed it, but will there be more discussion of the books on the thread so non-attenders can still take part? Those cheese-eating-Brixtonmonkeys seem to largely keep their thoughts to themselves.

new but not raw, I hope
does this mean the central London one? and is the Brixton meeting a dead duck now?
