The best laid plans …

of mice and men!

I'm excited because my Sister, nickname Whizzer is coming to visit this weekend with her other half Brian – hooray – and I'm planning on pushing the boat out – it's her birthday. They are arriving Friday, going home Monday.

Not knowing exactly when they'll arrive I decide to serve a dive-in supper for Friday evening and the menu goes something like :


Sharing plates


smoked mackerel with horseradish cream

smoked salmon

king prawns

medium prawns

with Marie Rose sauce


roast turkey breast


tomatoes

lettuce

cucumber

avocado

beetroot

slaw

black olives


Three cheese and potato tartlets


Sounds good ...

What I wasn't planning on was the weather – SNOW! Thursday dawns in Northamptonshire and we've had a shed load – in the Peak District where Whizzer lives, only a sprinkle – watch this space.

In the face of adversity … crack on
