The wooden table looked lovely, simple. Unadorned with just blue and white mis- matched crockery. The meal couldn't have been simpler, homemade Minestrone soup with a few soda rolls and oak smoked cheddar to accompany it.
To drink? Chilled cider in glass mugs.
Was it a perfect meal?
Yes.
Why?

Ample amounts of earthy food made by excited hands.... and at noon, around the table, wonderful company.


Tonight's fare is cafe food. Fat slices of Corned beef, oven baked chips and silly rolly abouty the platey peas... with buttered white bread and brown sauce to go with it all. To drink? Tea. For afters? Milk chocolate and dreams.
