A Robin Hood Weekend III

It was almost time to return home but there was one last lunch before the train.

How I have missed seeing those I love. It's the simple pleasures isn't it. Eating great food, drinking equally great wines. Laughing. A lot.

Sorting out our lives. Trying to anyway

There were three of us getting together & I booked us into the restaurant here:

What a feast it was, too.

The bread to start was a treat to behold. Sometimes in restaurants the offering of the basket can be, well, a bit underwhelming. Here, it's a big deal with the hotel owner & a master baker having started a bakery in 2008. You can order it, too, pick your favourite up & take it back home:

It was a lovely fresh-tasting Mackerel & Beetroot for me to get proceedings underway. Then the main event. A meat I haven't cooked or eaten in a while.

Lamb.

Better at this time of year as opposed to springtime I always think.

We thought we had loads of time for lunch, we'd met at one & my train wasn't leaving until just before five. But in two shakes of a lamb's tail, (forgive,) it was time to part company.

I didn't want to go. We had another four to five hours to catch up. At least.

Till the next time.
