The last weekend in September &, in Nottingham, we were blessed with glorious sunshine.
A final serving of late summer warmth to store for colder days.

The Saturday promises two reunions - one over lunch & the other over supper
There's something that I love about researching restaurants and their menus. This was the choice for the first get-together:

The two of us over-ordered. Of course we did.
We managed most of it although we were offered a doggy bag. On the table:
Catalan Bread (Tomatoes & garlic)
Padron Peppers
Triple Cooked Patatas Bravas & Aioli
Heritage Tomatoes, Peas, Broad Beans, Shiso
Mushroom Croquetas & Truffle Sauce
Beetroot, Cashew & Orange
Tuna Carpaccio, Cucumber & Avocado
All very fresh & tasty.
World set to rights & then it's time to part.
A rest for me & then in the blink of an eye it is evening time.

Nottingham excels at curry houses. Many have won & been nominated in the British Curry Awards.
The choice of establishment for three of us was:
https://www.calcutta-club.co.uk
Karwari Chicken (Boneless Thighs with Masala, Fresh Coconut & Sun-dried Kashmiri Red Chillies)
Tadka Daal (Lentils simmered with Roasted Cumin, Red Chillies, Pan-Fried Garlic & Tomatoes)
Steamed Basmati Rice
Garlic Naan
I could have eaten this meal thrice over.
Oh & it was Freshers Week. The walk back home was interesting with many sights to behold.
