Social Scoffing......

 
What a lovely start to the week, our two wonderful children had included in their Christmas gifts an afternoon tea for the four of us. So rare to have our children all to ourselves! 

They had booked The Swan at Lavenham a beautiful old hotel and restaurant filled with character. Good service and really lovely food, we all had little take home boxes and needed them. I couldn't eat another thing for the rest of the day. 

Monday morning was our usual coffee morning and the neighbours bring various contributions for the table, this week there were seeded cheese straws and shortbread biscuits. 

Almost immediately afterwards friendM picked me up and we went to The Belstead Brook Hotel (locally we all still call it that although it's changed owners quite a few times who all tweek the name each time). Two course lunch and lots of chatting. Again I ate nothing else for the rest of the day! 

Tuesday, I fancied something hot and tasty for lunch and made this really good cauliflower cheese. Lasted two lunches as Hubby doesn't eat it. 

Yes I eat mine with ketchup, don't judge! 

Our normal Wednesday gang ate in Prezzo this week then headed to the pub so the guys could play pool. 

Thursday I was dog sitting for Daughter all day (she brought homemade biscuits yummy) plus we had organised for Son and Fiancé (with their dog of course) to come over while their new extension got knocked through into the upstairs bathroom, the new downstairs shower room isn't fitted yet, so they were escaping here for a fully functioning loo. I'd plenty to feed them already in the freezer which is where it stayed when they had to cancel as Son had woken unwell and put the builders off till next week. 

Friday we ended the week with us and 10 of our coffee morning neighbours going out for brunch at a local pub. That was fun we all agreed needs to be repeated. 

Thankfully I've just found mince and chicken in the freezer to thaw as I'm back to cooking for the weekend. 
Take care everyone.
