The Pegasus Colony by Phyllis Moore
The Pegasus Colony by Phyllis Moore
This was a brilliant read, especially if you are a sci-fi fan. The story is based ~2444 AD and is based in another star system that has been colonised by human about 300 years ago. The colony have not had any contact with Earth since they landed due to a series of mishaps and now they refuse to be recognised as a colony. They want nothing to do with Earth. However, Earth dispatched a party to negotiate colony's demands and study the colony and the planet.

The characters are all interesting and really come to life as you read the book. The story is very gripping - I was so disappointed when it ended only because I just wanted to continue reading! Can't wait to read the next book and highly recommend it. Brilliant plot, excellent story, good characters and not an implausible storyline!

Went to Benito for lunch today. The food is very average and the décor appears tired and old rather than rustic and cosy. The food also looked tired and un-appetizing. Not really worth their prices, especially as they are competing with some pretty good restaurants on Earl's Court Rd. Even my Coco Cola was flat! Service, however, was good and we did not feel neglected at all. Wouldn't go back there though.

We went there for afternoon tea today after shopping. The scones and sandwiches are excellent - well cooked and very fresh. The macaroons were also lovely. The service was great - the staff were very pleasant and attentive. The tea was brewed to perfection - very important detail!!
Would definitely go again - perfect afternoon tea!
