To say that a lot of my life revolves around friends and food (sometimes both at the same time!) wouldn’t be far from the truth – and today was no exception!
A cheeky ‘Chocolate Brownie’ Milkshake
First, it was over to Peterborough to meet Alison W (from my days with Nokia). We visited Bill’s – a smallish affair near Cathedral Square. The last time I was here it was a Lakeland! (around two-and-a-bit years ago), but they’d now moved into the Queensgate for more room. The menu was pretty extensive covering everything from the traditional English breakfast through to piles of pancakes (and I do mean ‘piles’). The service was polite and prompt and that gave Alison and I plenty of time to catch-up. Yummy! – and that milkshake was pretty special!!!
I was home by 1.30 just in time to hand over the car to Ann who was off to pick up Lee for a joint shopping expedition.
Then, in the evening, it was off to The Olde Victoria (our fave local) with Jo, Janet, Nicki for the Pub’s themed Bistro Night.
As with our previous two visits, the place didn’t disappoint. It was already very busy when we got there, but the service was very efficient – and the food was delicious!
Bistro Night!
I think I’ve put on half-a-stone today!!
I got into blogging quite late in life, not publishing my first post until 2004 – well into my 40s!
My lifelong love of technology and communication (in all its forms), together with a fondness for the art of writing seemed to be the perfect combination to contribute a few words to the online community.
But I’m no Samuel Pepys! If you’re looking for deep and meaningful comments on a variety of subjects, then you’ve arrived at the wrong site! I only pen for pleasure!
On average, my posts appear about twice per month, covering family & friends, cinema visits, eating out, holiday experiences and techy stuff. Oh, and as this is my hobby, there’s no sponsored links nor adverts here – it’s all done with love!
I hope you find it enjoyable, interesting and occasionally, even helpful!
