Aunty Me

November 10, 2009 10:21 PM

Ahhh, some good news to wake up to this morning in the fact that Phil's brother Peter and his wife Stine have had a healthy baby boy called Mateo, which means I'm now an official Aunty, which is cool!

I can't say it has helped my broody gene though which got just got kicked into overdrive...

... which then got kicked into hyperdrive when I found out one of my old work collegues and his mrs has just had a baby boy too, so congrats to Russ as well!

The morning then was filled with thoughts of baby stuff and work and generally unwinding after the weekend of visitors etc. I do get a phone call from my sister who is spending a few days in our local vicinity so we arrange to meet up for dinner in Burford at around 6.30PM to catch up.

It doesn't take long for it to become time for me to get a shift on to meet my sister so I plug in the address into TomTom and wind my way through many a country road (note to self, shortest route isn't always the best) until I make it to The Angel @ Burford where I meet up with Phil and we both walk to the pub together.

The meal we had was fantastic, probably the best scallops I've ever had and the belly pork was delicious, tender as anything you'll ever taste. Desert was marvelous - black cherry bread and butter pudding, and for once the cheese and biscuits had exactly the right amount of cheese:biscuit ratio. All in all I would throughly recommend this restaurant to anyone fancing a bit of a treat.

When we get home there is just enough time to watch a tiny bit of TV before we head off to bed - phil is in the spare room tonight again since my snoring is apparently still troublesome (can't comment myself, it hasn't bothered me yet!) :-)
