Lorraine's birthday
Working hard on the Guernsey Double poems this morning, then at midday whizzed about picking up posters for This concert, and buying a card and flowers for Lorraine.
Lorraine escaped work early and we went for a walk in Woods Mill, which is now officially in Spring. Lovely to go there in the middle of the week with only a nature photographer stalking about among the afternoon shadows. The wood anemones out, and the first bluebells, and the may trees blossoming, and the lake's still surface being broken by big muscular carp. All very relaxing.
Then back to Lorraine's house to get ready to go out with Beth and Mark to Riddle & Finns. Handily Mark works there part time, so we were able to dine like royalty, and sup champagne while slurp down wasabi oysters, and get a staff discount to boot. I had a really nice fish pie. All very cheery and nice, and Lorraine happy and enjoying herself, which of course was the big idea.
Below at Woods Mill and Beth and Mark at the restaurant with their fish risotto, and fish curry respectively. There was no shot of Lorraine she was happy with however.
