Looking Out To Sea

I hope everyone that came to the party on Friday night had a good time; and everyone else is deeply jealous and/or regretful.

We had a couple of mini-kegs (5L) from the Stewart Brewing company: Number 3 and IPA. Helen made some lamb and beef kebab skewers and some chocolate gingerbread. I made three types of bread: spicy Moroccan rolls, a focaccia and bread shots with various fillings (cheese, two types of pesto, two types of olive). I made the focaccia and bread shots both the night before, which was horrendously difficult and I ended up going to bed much later than I wanted to. But they were excellent in the end. Actually, I never even got to taste the focaccia but I assume it was good because I turned round and it had all gone.

I don’t have any photos of the event, and it was all a bit of a blur at the time, but thanks to everyone who came. Our new sofa arrived that afternoon, and I assembled it straight after work with Helen’s brother. It was still fresh and new for the people arriving at seven. It still doesn’t seem quite real yet. Photos of the new front room when we feel up to it…
