Well, we haven’t done this for a while, so it was good to see everyone today. We never need an excuse to get together but today we had one! Rosi had organised a party for hubby Dave’s birthday. A tricky manoeuvre considering the weather has been all over the place these past few days – and it didn’t look too promising given that proceedings started at 3pm!
Rosi wasn’t going to let a little thing like the threat of rain get in the way of a celebration, and so 20+ of us descending on ‘Rosi’s Taverna’ for a totally Greek affair was the order of the day! The Gang were all there, including: Tom, Julie, John, Trish, Paul, Karen, Jake and Rhiannon and many of Rosi and Dave’s closest.
The table was set for 27 – which, even by our standards meant ‘serious catering’ – and the menu didn’t disappoint!
Rosi had cooked her socks off (as usual) and we all abandoned any thought of sensible eating (well, I did!) as soon as the food was put on the table – a full assault on the taste-buds followed (in a good way) all helped along with lashings of ginger beer wine and homemade olive-bread courtesy of super-chef and my nearest and dearest!
Desserts too…
…and then cheese for those who could manage it..!
By 8pm everyone was truly stuffed – even I was!
What a fantastic event – and hats off to Rosi and others who prepared a true banquet for the masses!!!
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 are no sponsored links nor adverts here – it’s all done with love!
I hope you find it enjoyable, interesting and occasionally, even helpful!
