It has been a busy couple of days! Last night we went to the Bistro with Aunt Judy and had a lovely meal. Nice Crayfish salad,tender beef and a great chardoney was leaps ahead of the bloody awful Chinese I had to suffer on Friday night. It was a real treat and a very relaxed and confortable evening was had by all.
Today I was up at 7am repositioning the chicken runs, then later in the morning we drove to Rhos-on-sea to have coffee and lunch at Forte's cafe on the sea front.
Re-vamped in the 1980's the cafe has an old fashioned feel to it and Chris especiallly enjoys its "Miss Marple" type ambiance.(the tomatos and radish in the salads are fashioned into miniture flowers...and the staff all have neat uniforms with pad and pencils to take your orders- if you get my drift?)
Chris actually believes that the world we saw in the likes of Brief Encounter (1945),Gosford Park (2001) and "Cranford" can exist in 2008. In fact he believes that this sort of chocolate box reality actually existed in 1930-1950's Britain!, and I guess it is a nice fantasy to have ! even though it can leave you wide open for disappointment when the harshness of real life encroaches on St Mary Mead!
