Thanks - I'll pass the best wishes along.

Just got back from the restaurant.

Chilled champagne when we got there.

For starters, Nathan & I had a fresh fruit mix of mango, melon, strawberry,
raspberry, passion fruit, physalis... Vernon had grilled feta cheese with a
warm tomato compote.

For a main caourse we all had fillet steak with assorted veggies. Vernon & I
had a nice Cote de Rhone to go with it. Nathan had lemonade :-)

For deesert, both Vernon and Nathan had caramelised pineapple with vanilla ice
cream. I had a baked banana with honey from Wendling bees and pistachio nuts
with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Post meal, we were met by Rosie & Jim, the hotel cats (black & white brother &
sister), who graced us with their presence. Rosie is a big girl - the size of
Marble. Jim is *huge* - but neither are overweight, they are *big*. As Nathan
said of Jim, "Whoa! he's the size of a dog! I know where the restaurant gets
its venison from - Jim hunts it!" Jim is a huge softie and allowed me the
pleasure of him standing on my lap, whilst purring loudly and dribbling on my
knee, all while performing cat acupunture on said knee. I purred and chirruped
to Jim who seemed to enjoy ahving a human speaking cat, as I was rewarded with
lots of headbuttz, bottom sniffs and nose touches, all to constant purring
(Jim's purring...)

Cheers, helen s
