THE VALIANT SAILOR
SUNDAY LUNCH REVIEW I have been meaning to visit this pub ever since the new people took over and refurbished it. What a great job they have done. The ambience is lovely plus the welcome is great; they are so friendly and nice. We went on a Sunday without booking, as we didn’t know they don’t accept walk-ins. So, last Sunday we booked. I took Kara and Enzo for a Sunday lunch. The service is excellent. I had the roast beef, which was cooked to perfection. Kara had the chicken but was toying with the lamb, so they gave her…

Today is the day you start a new book if you are not reading one at the moment. I am starting this one. The Works has its best offer on at the moment: three books for £7.50. Their website is here.

I took Enzo for afternoon tea at The Coterie the other day. I wasn’t too sure how much of it he would eat, but he did really well. We had a lovely time, playing Uno while we munched our way through so much food! I have to admit we did take some home as there was too much to eat.

Kara makes delicious scones and cakes; I ate the scone and bought the cakes home. Enzo…

I took Kara and Enzo over to the pub for dinner the other day; it’s Enzo’s favourite place to go at the moment. He takes his little football as there are always some kids to play with, so it keeps him amused, and he always eats all of his kids’ meal. This comprises a chicken burger, chips and beans, a drink and a big ice cream; he eats it all every time. Kara had the chicken Greek salad, and I had the lamb kofta Greek salad. I must say they were delicious and filling. A couple of Spritz to wash…
