Well, no matter - you're going to get my fourpenn'orth whether you like it or no). BTW - just received an invite to a do at one of our local posh restaurants where the menu starts with 'celeriac foam with a hazlenut emulsion' - truly. I'm thinking along the lines of Gilette meets Farrow & Ball. Wonder whether Simmie will be there and if so, whether she will be allowed a sniff of foam.<br /><br />Too delicious.<br /><br />Congrats to you both on 20 years of wedded bliss, by the way.

Makes a night out so it does, observing those around us. We had Maud and My Dear Maaaan sitting near us in the restaurant when we dined out to celebrate our 30th; Dear Maaaan hardly got a word in edgeways, his dinner was ordered for him, the pint of Guinness he was clearly slavering for arrived as a glass of creme de menthe, and we were quite sure he would go 'menth-el' before the night was over.<br />Lovely blog.

The funniest one Chris and I ever heard was on the bus in Manchester...this lad with the plummiest Home counties accent I have ever hears was dressed like a wannabe black rapper and he actually uttered the words 'are you down with that' to his friend whilst doing the oddest hand gesture.

And all so recognisable - well I suppose it depends which restaurant you alight upon - but on the rare occasions we venture forth it is so recognisable. Incidentally, Celeriac, grated with a little mayonnaise goes most excellently with a little apple - or even carrot. Whether you are on a diet or not. And was Simmy really a girl? It kinda sounded, you know, a bit like Lolly. Whom I trust you took a little bag home for; despite the nasty waitress.Fenniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02377814681496294457noreply@blogger.com
