Kept in Haddock!

Reading time: < 1 minute...

As we get closer and closer to the festive season (and any excuse to get together with the neighbours!), we kicked things off tonight with a fish & chip supper here at ours.


The โ€˜Gang-of-Eightโ€™ were all here: Tom, Julie, John, Trish, Paul, Karen, David and Rosi. Over the years that we’ve all known each other (20+ and counting!) itโ€™s almost become an annual tradition that weโ€™ll all attempt a get-together at each otherโ€™s houses before the big day. So far so good then with Dave & Rosiโ€™s on the 11th November, Tom and Julieโ€™s on the 2nd December and John and Trishโ€™s on the 9th December!

Back to tonight and us-being-us, meant that we couldn’t just keep it simple and just survive on fish and chips! In addition, Ann sorted out a rather scrummy Fruit Crumble with a Muesli Topping and there was also the obligatory cheese-board โ€“ all helped down with various alcoholic beverages! My new Gin Palace also got a massive workout too and it was probably the first get-together where there was more Gin consumed than Beer!



The evening began with me picking-up the fish from nearby Kettering Cod. Weโ€™d pre-ordered, so it was a very simple matter of turning up and handing over the cash โ€“ none of this queuing malarkey!

Generous portions too! Even the small fish were large! And they threw-in a free bottle of 7-up and some ‘special’ vinegar too!

It was a great evening and I think we all agreed that the crappy Summer meant that we hadnโ€™t seen as much of each other as we would have liked! Still, we made up for it this evening โ€“ what a laugh! Roll-on, the next event!
