Ha ha! The minute I read that I wondered, 'Martin Morales?' - although I didn't know his place was in Soho. I remember catching an episode of Sat. Kitchen when he was on. Interesting career path the man's taken.
Was the food good?
And I agree with Alchemilla - gorgeous pic of the different egg colours
Have a great week.

Possible easy ways to avoid/reduce S&S ISA transfer fees - sell all the funds and transfer as cash, or withdraw the money as you said. Be aware, however, that this option isn't great as you have 2+ years worth of allowance in your pot already. You and Mr MWC could both take some, but that would leave you with no room to invest for the rest of the year...0

Do all the girls get on with each other?
Generally, yes - the odd squabble but nothing major once the pecking order has been decided. Introducing new chooks to the flock can be a bit traumatic (never introduce a single hen to an established flock) but they soon settle down.Greying_Pilgrim wrote: »Was the food good?

Ooooh, how fab! As I know nothing about Peruvian cuisine, I'd had a quick peek at what sort of things were on the menu at t'other place. InspiringI think I'd like to learn more and see what I can incorporate into the everyday here at Greying Towers.
You continue to inspire me with your recipes/talk of food MWC - Thank you
And in 'Fitb1t' diplomacy;
