Romford Girls Reunited

We caught up with Gill, Chris and Denise tonight – we all know each other from our days based in Sainsbury’s Romford Area Office in the 80s. It’s been a while since we last got together with the gang, and it was our turn to host.

I did most of the food preparation, whilst Ann dropped into Leicester for a serious five-hour shopping spree with Karen G!

That’s it! – We’re out of Saucepans!


No Sweat – Sweating the Potatoes (and drowning the carrots!)

Almost ready..!

Finishing Touches

More finishing touches!

Leek and Potato Soup

Honest – there is some fish there somewhere! – Parmesan & Herb Crusted Salmon

Thank you Paul Hollywood! – Red Cherry & Croissant Pudding

With all the ingredients assembled, Ann weaved her culinary magic – as usual – and when the time came, the rest of us did the menu justice! We caught up with each others’ news eventually saying our goodbyes to Chris and Gill just after 10.30. Denise stayed over, and I dropped her back at the Station on Sunday.

It’s been great catching up with (part of) the ‘old gang’ and hopefully, there’s plenty of opportunity to do it all again, later this year.

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!
