Today, a welcome return to the Olde Victoria – our local – to meet up for lunch with long-time friends, Richard & Pauline.
The last time we four got together was June last year (also at the Olde Vic!), and it was good to catch up. For the first time EVER (20+ years!) we couldn’t get into the car-park opposite, as it was already full! This required me to venture into uncharted waters, just past the Pub – as had many others – judging by how few spaces were left in the side roads. We do like ‘living on the edge’. 😄
We’ve never had a less-than-brilliant experience here, and today was no exception. However, despite the late improvement in the weather, it still wasn’t warm enough to even consider eating outside.
The Burgers are a particular favourite of ours here – and the Chips are the best anywhere! 😋. So for us two, it was perhaps the obvious choice of the ‘Olde Vic Wagyu’ variety (with Chips, of course!) 👍👍
Although the usual lightning-fast speed of service was a little ‘off the pace’ today, it was, on the whole, a very pleasurable experience. The waiting staff were as friendly and helpful as ever, and our taste buds enjoyed their usual treat! We had plenty of time to catch up with everyone’s news, but had to skip Dessert because I was on the clock for a meeting in Rothwell at 2.30. It was good to see Richard & Pauline after all this time, and the Olde Vic didn’t disappoint.
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!
