Toasted Sandwiches

Back home to East Yorkshire and we were at mum and dad's to collect Kasper and have tea. After the cooked breakfast, cinema snacks, McDonald's and wedding buffet yesterday we were more than happy with toasted sandwiches and the final of The Apprentice.

McDonald's

The wedding thing mentioned yesterday doesn't start until this evening so we had a child-free day to fill. By 10.30am, we had got up, eaten breakfast, gone for a swim, been in the jucuzzi and tried out the sauna, such is the way time seems to stretch when your little one is elsewhere. We both missed him terribly so kept busy and made like a couple of teenagers with a trip to the cinema followed by a McDonald's in the afternoon. Tea was a wedding buffet but it was too dark to capture on camera. You'll have to make do with a particularly unflattering shot of me enjoying my milkshake earlier instead.

The Countryman, Daventry

We were in Daventry for tea tonight, staying at a hotel in nearby Staverton ahead for a wedding do we're at tomorrow.

We arrived late, about 8.30pm and asked for a recommendation of there to eat from the hotel receptionist. She directed us to a pub in the nearby village so we headed there. Weary after our three hours on the motorway, we were delighted to receive one of the warmest ever welcomes from the landlord who sorted us out with a couple of drinks during our short wait for a table.

The food - lasagne for me and duck for James - was excellent, a real treat after our long journey. Washed down with a lovely bottle of red, we retired happy but missing our boy who is with his grandparents.

Fish and Chips (Stuart's of Driffield)

The weekend is here early as we're both off work tomorrow and there was never a chance of us doing anything else tonight than picking up a nice bottle of white wine and some fish and chips from Stuart's of Driffield as featured on this blog previously. There may also have been a dessert, but like a Secret Eater, I am not about to record that here in the hope it doesn't go to my hips.

Roast Pork Leftovers

Yes it was a bit of a faff to produce a roast dinner on a week night yesterday but the benefit today was that I simply had to pop the leftovers in the microwave and I'm not going to spend longer writing this entry than that.
