Sophie and I tackled the housework today, and I gave the upstairs a good clean. It wasn't a day for getting washing dry on the line outside as it was a little showery. The weather feels more like April than late May!
It was great to clean the house, and at 1.30pm, we all walked to the pub in the afternoon sunshine for Sunday lunch. We were seated in the back room and studied the menu, all of us choosing a roast. Sophie and I opted for the roast chicken with added stuffing balls, while Keith decided on lamb with an extra Yorkshire pudding. Sophie suggested a bottle of Rosé to drink, and Keith sampled a couple of pints of Neck Oil.
The staff were great and very attentive, serving us two thick slices of garlic sourdough bread to start, which were swiftly demolished! It was great to sit and chat and listen (surreptitiously) to the table behind where one of the women was talking very loudly!
Our main courses were delicious, and although Sophie preferred Keith's Yorkie Puds, and my roasties, we weren't disappointed. The meat was served with carrots, braised red cabbage, tenderstem broccoli and a thick gravy. I don't know why we don't do this more often!
Sophie and I shared a pudding - a white chocolate and raspberry bread and butter pudding, served with custard, and we paid the bill, saying hello to a couple of our neighbours as we walked out.
The walk home was a little slower, but it was still sunny and breezy. Back home, we did very little, and I had a nap. I definitely can't do lunchtime drinking!
It was a great feeling to know that I had tomorrow off work! It's a Bank Holiday Monday!
