Another Day Out

Lunch on Wednesday at the Bell at Alresford with our friend from Tokyo who is visiting her family in Bath. S looking well,and surmounting all her difficulties in her usual optimistic frame of mind , was an inspiration to all us moaners.
The party of six was a lively one with much hearty laughter. Jane chose the venue well. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. The service was unobtrusive and friendly. Since my eyesight is fading I have become obsessive about light. As is fashionable the lighting was "romantically low" but as I was seated next to the window I coped. I do hope the way the restaurants have jumped on the band wagon of energy saving (i.e. money saving) will pass and we can go back to the good old days of seeing what is on the end of our forks! I find it is a bit of a lucky dip. However, no grumbling. It was a lovely day and I am grateful to my family for taking me for another nice day out.
