We have just had the most idyllic Sunday - great company and great food. Frank and Kate suggested we go to Sidmouth today for lunch. They had been to the Victoria Hotel many (more than 20!) years ago and remembered it was a lovely place to eat.
It was more than lovely, it was outstanding. A little gem of British genteelness looking out to sea. We enjoyed a superb five course lunch whilst a pianist tinkled the ivories (we had to persuade Frank not to sing along). This is the sort of place everyone should experience at least once and it really wasnt expensive for the quality of food and beautiful surroundings.

and go along and try it. And NO I am not on commission but places like this really deserve a mention.
That's it for me for food - I am totally pigged out and will take the opportunity whilst John is away to get back to normality - no chance for John as I know Mum has already made him a special cake and several casseroles to keep him going whilst he is out there. Mum he wont have time to eat if he is going to get through the 50 or so items on his list (which is still growing).
Anyway Frank and Kate (Jo and Robbie) if you are reading this thanks for a wonderful day and sorry we will miss Frank's special birthday later this year - we will have to raise a glass to you from a distance.
