to all who have sent me such lovely cards, with their supportive and thoughtful messages, flowers, gifts and prayers, on the occasion of Tony’s very sudden and devastatingly sad death. You have all been so kind. It was really uplifting to see so many at Church – Tony would have been so pleased that there was so much esteem and respect for him and Tim, my Grandchildren and myself felt very moved. So many thanks once again. See you soon Kindest Regards to all Marj xx
foodie group having a meal in the Red House
The foodie group and friends decided to try the Red House for lunch. Vinny has taken over as the chef and prides himself on using fresh produce. He came out and introduced himself and made the group feel very welcome. Thursday is steak day, so six of the group had the steak deal, which is 2 steaks and a bottle of wine for £15. The steak was served with onion rings, chips, peas, and tomatoes. So three bottles of wine on the table for starters!!!!. Others tried fish and chips, lasagne, scampi,and hunters chicken. One of the group tried syrup pudding and custard which was great, and large enough for most of of us to have a sample. We finished up with coffees. We split the bill which including tip was £10 each, which everyone agreed was very good value.
We asked about doing a meal for the Nordic walking group for Christmas, Vinnie suggested
This would cost £5 which includes a tip. So other groups could join in if they wished, some of the foodie group have already shown interest. The manager would give us the whole lounge and there would be plenty of room for groups to split up if they so wished. Just an idea. Brenda
