… and it was back to Walton again. Lunch was similar to yesterday - pittas, humous and Baby Bel cheese with peppery salad leaves. We had a cake and coffee with Linda and Roger at the posh café. At home, Annie made spaghetti with home-made pesto, and that was very tasty.

… ‘cos we went to Walton on the Naze, and sat outside the beach hut for a few hours. For lunch, we had pittas with humous, avocado and peppery salad leaves. And that was really nice. We were going to make a big Sunday dinner when we came back, but we didn’t. Instead, we had [...]

… and we didn’t go to Walton as we thought. We did the library, and then we did the Army & Navy to get the toilet stuff for the motorhome, and then Aldi for some food and stuff. Lunch was a brunch of lemon sole gujons from Aldi, with a salad. I think that was [...]

… with Annies tagliatelli, and a sauce of mushrooms, onions and creme fraiche. Very nice it was, and unusual for us to have a delicate amount of sauce. Normally I drown pasta in sauce.

… for having yesterday’s burnt garlic soup, with a few vegetables, like carrot and turnip and onion. It tasted OK, sort of like burnt garlic taste.

… and we had cheese on baguettes round at John and Sue’s, although that was lunchtime, but we weren’t hungry at dinner time. I made a soup which had burnt garlic in it (I was trying, yet again, to make garlic crisps like wot they have in Japan, but I failed). Paul had some.

.. for going out again. It was up town (Brick Lane) with John and Sue and Rob and Les (and Bob and Carol and Ted and Alice maybe) to a Lebanese restaurant. I had a something I’ve forgotten since it’s so long since I wrote this blog for starter, and the main course was a [...]
