Six years! Yes, I know, I'm surprised too. Of course, a year of that we spent apart so perhaps it doesn't really count (although given that we were the least separated separated couple ever I think there's probably an argument to be had either way). But still, it's a good run and very deserving of a bit of a bash.
We're actually going to be having dinner on the day at the Lake Road Kitchen and I can't wait to report back to you on that. The reviews have been glowing, everything I've read or seen about the food there has got me salivating - I think that we are in for a real treat.
Not only that, but we are staying at The Drunken Duck which I'm sure that I have written about before. It's a fabulous place and also happens to serve fabulous food so I'm going to be ensuring that I save room for an excellent breakfast. We might need to get out and do some brisk walking to work up a bit of an appetite, but given the part of the world in which we will find ourselves, that will be no particular hardship.
Closer to home, we went for a meal at one of our local gems the other week. Zucco serves kind of Italian tapas stuff - very much in the vein of Russell Norman's Polpo chain, and we are so lucky to have it on our doorstep. The pictures are of two of our favourite dishes - a salt cod ravioli which came strewn with sage and glistening with buttery, winey juices and a whole baby Dover sole, cooked to perfection and drenched in a gorgeous caper butter. It's not pushing any culinary boundaries but it is the kind of food that makes you grin broadly and use your finger to wipe the plate.
Have a gorgeous weekend, folks, and I look forward to providing a full account of our adventures next week.
