What a brilliant day I have just had!!
Silver and I met for coffee in a farm shop not too far from our lunch venue and it wasn't long before I felt I'd known her more than a few minutes! Coffee consumed, we moved on to meet Callyanna and Merlin, who had bagged a table in the garden of the restaurant.
Instead of one big plate of food each, we opted for a mix of piattini, small plates of Italian food. Silver will post a photo later! We had mini pizzas, deep fried herby potatoes, creamy pasta, garlicky mushrooms, smoked salmon, Caesar salad, meat balls, saffron arancini and bruschetta. We all dipped in and savoured, passing the little plates around to deep sighs of appreciation!!
Sadly, Merlin had to leave early, but Siver, Cally and I ordered coffee and continued to yak 20 to the dozen!
We dutifully posed for the obligatory photos (and again, it's over to Silver for that one!) so you can see the gang of 4!
I'm looking forward now to the Ludlow meet! Roll on Tuesday!
