It means I left school 39 years ago, some of my Junior School teachers, who were getting on abit then must have snuffed it by now, I just don't know where all that time has gone, and gone so quickly.
We've always celebrated birthdays ( not Dad he hated the very idea of birthdays & Paul has pretty well followed in that family tradition!) personally I think you should make a fuss of birthdays & of course it means a get together.
We spoke to Alec and Laura again today (we'd spoken on Alec's birthday two days before mine), Alec told me I had a birthday present & when I signed onto FaceBook I found he had unblocked me & invited me to be his friend, on the proviso I don't abuse it! I shall comment wisely!
Tara had booked us a meal at Chez Jerome a fantastic French restaurant in Dunstable & Oliver kindly dropped us down there & what a feast we had.
Starters were Champignons des bois which is mushrooms in a creamy sauce with a crispy poached egg on top for me which was delicious & Halloumi for Tara which was Grilled halloumi cheese, grapes, figs and capers drizzled with honey dressing & salad leaves. Mains we had were Venaison which was a very rich Venison stew with mash and seasonal veg, the Venison just melted in the mouth, it was great. Tara had Loupe de mer which was Sea Bass fillet with lemon and garlic butter, again with veg. Washed down with a couple of Peronei's for me & Bacardi & coke for Tara.
Puds then, I had an old fave of Vanilla Crème Brulee & Tara Dark Chocolate Mousse with Cream Anglaise which is a fave of her's. Couple of Brandys and Tiamarias later we were replete & ready for home & Oliver kindly picked us up as well. A great night with the one I Love, what could be better?
Here's afew photos for evening including a bottle of wine that Tara got me, she tried to get beaujolais nouveau but unfortunately Lina who runs the restaurant couldn't get any from her supplier so she gave be a very nice bottle of Cote Du Rhone which I shall look forward to tasting in due course.
