I had a wonderful day yesterday, starting with a delicious breakfast-in-bed made by Malcolm (sorry, no photo, much too early!) ........ smoked salmon and scrambled egg, served with sundried tomato and parmesan bread which I had made on Saturday (ok - I put a packet mix in the bread machine!!) Later, we popped down to Sainsbury's to get the Sunday papers, and while there we had a cuppa and shared a Belgian bun - a special treat for my birthday! Stuart arrived at lunchtime and we headed over to the cheesery, where we bought several tasty cheeses. We then set off for a spot of lunch - only to find that the place we had chosen was closed! However, we went instead to the Jammy Coo, where we had very tasty paninis (Malcolm and I shared one, having had the bun!)
Now we finally get to some photos ....... the wonderful dinner which Malcolm made for us. The dining room was just dark enough to light the candles and turn on the lamps
We didn't have a starter - just straight to the main course ...... and what a main course! Wonderful, tender venison, with a raspberry and bramble jus, and delicious vegetables
Then ........ the lemon meringue pie! It was sooooo good (and I won't tell tales about Malcolm and Stuart having second helpings!)
We had our wine in our beautiful engraved wineglasses - and I couldn't resist taking this 'arty' photo of the candle shining through the glass!
I finally finished the scarf ...... I was glad to find that I hadn't missed another bobble - it had somehow gone through to the wrong side.
I have finished knitting the item for the swap I am doing over at Emily's blog, and have started on a pair of socks for me. As there are so many colours in the yarn, I am just doing a plain sock
To finish ....... if you have a comment form like this one on your blog
...... you may have noticed that I haven't left a comment for a few days. Every time I try, either the comment vanishes, or I get an error message. I am still reading all of my favourite blogs, and if I could comment, I would say that it's the most wonderful/interesting/profound/moving/funny post, illustrated with the most amazing photos!!
