Why did not my post show?

Miss k. Thats four pics, you said fourteen courses, please let me live vicariously through you...


The white bowls look sort of ...clumsy, heavy? But the flatware looks very very nice. I am always made happy by decent cutlery and flatware.

As stringent with our finances as we were, we would always splash out at least once a year on a very decent (and usually expensive), meal, almost as a treat to ourselves. We also, pre 3 children and disabilities, booked ourselves into posh hotels for our anniversary..we really did spoil ourselves but none of it was done on credit cards, those were the days.

Now, I get the colly wobbles going into the local Harvester type place and we only ever have a main, never the whole 3 course meal thing...and never with alcohol.

Shame really, I always enjoyed good meals and expensive restaurants (it's the snob in me :rotfl:)

Something that wil, cheer me up tonight is that i think i have some glass in my foot, it hurts anyway, and i cannot get it out or see it. Dh will fix it.

Blimey - white tablecloths... not sure I've ever eaten somewhere that had [a] tablecloths that were white. They're always stained; washed, but stained from years of use.

That's a real posh alert isn't it!

At least shove it in a hot/warm soapy bowl of water... and keep topping that up/changing it... perchance it might slide out, or it'll make DH's job easier.

I sometimes wonder if he's ever seen a long straw.

This is one of my favourite places to eat out - when I've got visitors to entertain. http://a7.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/33498_1546253337655_1274679819_1503159_6603450_n.jpg

It's got a HUGE menu, more than something for everybody (no matter how picky or choosy or posh).... BIG portions - and it's usually £6-7.

With overseas visitors visiting the old for the last time, and picky/veggie family visiting 2-3x, everybody felt this place was a winner.

He'll love it really. . And i pull thorns and splinters out of him all the time. He insists on chopping down brambles in shorts and topless.

I will have a bath before he does it. so it will be a freshly fragrant and softened foot.:D
