You know when a moment of happiness hits you ..
A lovely memory of being with people you love being around in a place where you can eat great food & drink good wine ..
As part of my tour of South West England working with a fantastic orchestra ..

There was a chance to return here with the same friends & most of the same staff working there ..

We're indoors on a sunny afternoon because there's a chilly April wind blowing.
'As the days grow longer, the winds grow stronger.' Said an astute person.
For the three of us ordering a multitude of starters for our lunch, an extension for our table was added without us even asking. I don't like a cramped dining table when there are so many dishes & a bottle or two due to arrive. It's a regular pain in some London restaurants. We beamed & gave effusive thanks to our Poole hostess.
There's no denying that we were greedy for shellfish & seafood to share on that bright afternoon.

Anchovies

Smoked Salmon
Cold Water Prawns
Endless delicious French Baguettes (& dishes of butter)
It was wonderful to be back here again with friendly, wonderful staff.
Here's the thing, we were well fed & watered & felt that we'd all eaten healthily.
There was a walk back to our seaside home & talk of when we will be able to return here again.
Moment of happiness indeed.
