Winter Lunch
About 4 years ago we had a fabulous turkey lunch with some very dear friends. At that time there were only 2 children. Yesterday we finally repeated the experience with a few minor variations on the menu; no variation on the fun had and a fair amount of variation in the kids present - now we have 5 between the three couples - aged from 18 months up to 10 y.o. As before we all contributed to the meal and it was coordinated by the gorgeous Emma and my P. Mmm ... delicious - hopefully we won't have to wait another 4 years before repeating the experience!

It was great to notice that Hannah was chatting away (mostly single words but still!) to Rosani while they were drawing at the chalk board - she loves R and her brother Subash but is normally fairly quiet when visitors are here no matter how much she loves them.

Roast potatoes; pumpkin gratin and braised peas
and Pinot Noir
