Well here we are again
peeps, I was gently reminded the other day that it was a while since
my last blog, so here we go :o)
So let's see what's
what..hmmm, well it probably won't be chronologically....wow big
words so early on....correct, so I'll start with.......... :o)
My gorgeous little
grandson had his christening last week in St Rhuddlad Church. Such a
shame that the weather didn't behave as we were all a bit windswept
and soggy. :o( The little prince looked absolutely gorgeous in his
silk suit and hat, and his two big brothers looked like little
gentlemen in their suits. Do you know throughout the service he
didn't make a peep, he loved all the attention given to him.....just
like his dad... and even when the vicar poured the holy water on his
head there was no nonsense and he took it all in his stride, bless
his cotton socks. :o) Mind you the big kids...godparents....were
kept quiet sipping on boiled sweets lol. Well, I took loads of
piccies of them all and they came out all right, even if I do say so
myself.
So this next bit I'll
probably get told off for but, hey, it's my personal opinion, and
everyone is entitled to their opinion right? I refer to the Lobster
Pot where we all went for food after the ceremony. Ermm I didn't have
a very high opinion of the place due to being, let's say
disappointed, the last time I was there. Ok it had been a few years,
so benefit of the doubt time yes? Well all I can say is that I was
'disappointed' again. As far as I know I am the only one who didn't
enjoy my meal there. Uncovered bowls of apple sauce, horseradish
sauce and something else were already on the table when we arrived
and a skin had formed on the horseradish sauce, yuk. So, my starter
of Thai Crab Cakes with Sweet Chilli sauce was served on a sad bed of
salad and was hard and crunchy, not soft as expected. The main I had
was pork, which was quite nice, accompanied by the smallest piece of
crackling, no more than the size of a 50p, seasonal veg of mashed
potatoes, carrots, red cabbage and a gloop which I was told was leeks
in cheese sauce! I decided against a dessert and just had my coffee
which was served with milk, no option of cream. After trying to
attract the attention of the waitress three times to ask if there was
cream I gave up. Such a shame as otherwise it was a nice christening
and the cake was cute.
Well I reckon that is
my rant for now eh? Lol :o)
Still talking about my
grandkids....love them all to bits :o) …. How proud am I of my
grandson who walked up Snowdon in aid of Holyhead Stroke Group. He
made the ascent in blustery and misty conditions with his mother and
other members of his mother's family. He completed the 3560ft ascent
in three and a half hours bless him. He took his time coming down and
the whole episode took eight hours from top to bottom. He was really
tired and stiff the next day but happy he'd done it. :o)
Rain rain go away
please lol. What's the weather been like round your way? I'm glad to
say that the rain has stopped for the time being. :o) Mind you we
all complain but, I don't know about you, but where I live we are
really lucky we don't get floods...ok we get floods but not to the
extent some places in Britain get. Have you also noticed how the main
headlines on the news is the rain? Yea it's news but there are more
pressing news items to be reported aren't there?
Keep safe
and happy xxxx
:o)
