Eating out

We very adventurously hopped on a bus on Tuesday and trundled into town.

We had a lovely wander through the Winter Gardens and then met cousin Penny for lunch in Ego, next to the Winter Gardens.

Ego does a lunchtime menu which offers a small sized lunch with a glass of wine or beer on the side. I had a Greek chicken wrap with chips and white wine.  Jim had salmon fishcakes with beer. Penny had a falafel wrap with white wine.  It was all delicious and a perfect size for lunch.





There used to be an American diner at the bottom of Tabitha and Gareth's road.  One day it went away. And then an Italian diner came in its place.  We went there for dinner on Tuesday night with Tabitha, Gaz, Cally and Flynn.  It too was very delicious.  Jim and I had sea bass with prawns, tiny octopus and calamari.  Jim has eaten a lot of fish since we've been here.  We both like fish and we eat it at home but I think he has been missing the European fish.  Much like I missed snapper and gummy shark when I was living in the UK

Waiting for dinner:







We didn't have lunch out yesterday, but I did take advantage of the proximity of a roast pork sandwich shop.  Roast pork sandwiches for lunch it was.  Then Jim and I met our friends Bea, Steve and Richard in the local Wetherspoons pub for dinner.  I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food.

We are going out shortly. Tabitha has taken a day off work.  Flynn is not at nursery.  We are heading off into Derbyshire for a meander around Tupton, Ashover and the Chatsworth estate.
