We had a relaxed morning, and at midday, drove to Laura's house to feed her cats for the last time. We then headed into town, parked in Albion Place next to Derngate, and walked to Pizza Express where we'd booked a table for 1pm.
The restaurant was quiet and we ordered a glass of wine each, with doppio doughballs and breaded halloumi bites to start, followed by a spicy chicken pizza. The food was delicious as always, and both of us were hungry after not having a lot for breakfast! We rounded off the meal by sharing a portion of Tiramisu, which was lovely and creamy, but not as good as Sophie's!
It was a very short walk to the Northampton Filmhouse and we were the first to be seated. I was hoping that lots of people would attend but there were no more than fifteen of us watching a re-mastered version of Psycho.
The film was brilliant on the big screen and as scary as ever. Even though we'd seen the film before and knew what to expect, the mother scene still sent a chill down our spines! We emerged into the grey afternoon and headed home where we relaxed before playing Scrabble. Keith had prepared the dinner of beef steaks in gravy served with our own homemade skinny fries and it was a delicious meal.
The Jubilee weekend is over and I confess I didn't see much of the coverage on television and didn't attend many of the events held in our village. However, it was lovely to see the country come together to celebrate a momentous occasion!
