    That sounds lovely :)

    Thanks, looking forward to it.
    And... the best bit is...I bought an Allinsons olive & rosemary round loaf half price from Mr T. :j
    I have a range of Fragato (?) stuffed olives - garlic, anchovy, chorizo. We may be sat at the table for some time. :D

    Lunch has been crisps, lots of crisps.

    I hope there was bread
    Sometimes you just need a crisp sandwich. ;)

    Meat Free Monday for us tonight, so I am making mushroom cobbler from a Marcus Wareing recipe. Mixed mushrooms pan fried in garlic butter with a few handfuls of spinach, smothered in a cheese sauce and topped with cheese scones. I have done all the prep and it is ready to bake tonight.

    Nectarines roasted with a little brown sugar for pud, with a dollop of cream to serve no doubt.
