I used to know it well @Busy-Lizzie back in the day when it belonged to Ruth Watson ... it's a while since I've eaten there but it still has a great reputation. Glad you enjoyed yourselvles.
Well, the rabbit pie filling is in the dish ... I'll put the pastry on this afternoon ... I might make a suet pastry ... it's good with rabbit pie.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Started off overcast and dull this morning. Now the sun has come out and it promises to be a beautiful afternoon. There is a slight breeze coming off the sea so the air is quite mild.
Lots to do outside, but not very motivated today. I do have a good book!!! Hmmm. Any excuse!
It's clouded over here now, but the dunnock is still happily pottering about under the grapevine and the bluetits seem to be peeling scraps of loose bark off the vine presumably for nesting material. I really need to prune the vine but the birds love it ...
I've got a bit of mending to do now, then the new loaf will have cooled enough to cut for a sandwich for lunch ... then it'll be the olympics and knitting ...

Afternoon people. Had a big clear out ready for the new wardrobes. Trip to the charity shop. Only the doors to put on now. Had a clear out in our room, wardrobe and paperwork. Put all my recipes in a folder with transparent pockets. The old man didn't want his certificates, which were in them. I found some of my old work courses stuff as well. Took me 5 hours,with some assisting of the wardrobe occasionally as well. I laughed my head off at the first episode of This Will Hurt", am sure both Punkdoc and I could tell a few tales. We both knew consultants exactly like that.
Come home this morning to find not one, but two separate letters from DWP about a claim which was cancelled weeks ago, both asking me to supply more information for a benefit I'm not allowed to claim for
I didn't laugh much at "This is Going to Hurt" @Nanny Beach, see my previous post. I saw situations like that when I was a nurse, too shocking and heartbreaking. Not saying it was always like that, there were a lot of good times, but that programme showed the worst.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Afternoon all, after a chilly start it has warmed up and we now have sunshine. I took the opportunity to put my new blue pots in place each side of my Lutyens bench (70th birthday present from OH and my children). Had to do some weeding on the slate and bottom of the Rough/Wild Patch behind the bench first. I've half filled the pots with manure and J.I 3 and will let that settle before planting the roses.
I couldn't watch that programme @Busy-Lizzie, the birth of my son was so traumatic I had to have counselling a couple of years ago, daren't watch any childbirth scenes. So unexpected, as that was my second and my daughter's birth had been easy-peasy. Just goes to show you never can tell.
Your lunch out sounds luscious. Must remember Fressingham when we go to Norfolk.
Hope you don't get a bad storm @Pat E. I don't like them either.
Hi everyone, nor long in from the Allotments, it started quite mild this morning, but there's a definite chill in the air now, finished a stretch of digging that I wanted to get done for 2-3 weeks. Hard frost predicted overnight so glad to have got it done.
We watched "This is going to hurt " knew it was dark humor, not being on the front line we were a bit more removed. My hospital based colleagues used to say the main interaction came in August when all the newly qualified ones came on to wards, as laboratory staff they were NOT allowed to offer diagnosis, so when the new medics rang up asking what various results meant, they had to couch the answers in careful terms, saying results like this are seen in conditions such as X or Y etc. Sometimes the consultant pathologist would get involved and give them a roasting, for wasting lab resources requesting dozens of tests when it was clear they were groping around for the answers.
I found "This is going to hurt" hilarious, laughed like a drain. It was absolutely true to life, full of all the humour without which I don't think any of us would have survived our 100 hour plus weeks and many nights with no sleep. It is great that young doctors no longer work under those conditions, but a lot of the humour has gone.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team

Well I suppose it is February, started nice and sunny, so I was out strimming the leaves off the Epimedium and whoosh got caught in a hailstorm.
I think suet pastry goes well with lots of things @Dovefromabove
