I'll just enjoy looking at your photos instead.

Still trying to be healthy and lose some weight - 9lbs in 4 weeks so far, off the booze too which has probably contributed more than the healthier grub!

Well done Alex, I could do with losing about 9lbs, then another 20 or so. Problem is I do like eating, even more than I dislike having 70% of my wardrobe unwearable.
Yeah, I've got at least another 20 to go! Ideally 3 stone in total, I've done more than that before but it is a slog. I did manage to stay at my "fighting weight" for a few years, then around this time last year I got an attack of sciatica which left me virtually unable to walk for 6 weeks. It got better for about 2 weeks, then it struck again and lasted another 6 weeks or so, so best part of 5 months hardly doing any exercise and not compensating by cutting down the calories, hence the weight gain.Quote:

As mentioned in the “watches” thread, it was William’s 13th birthday on Saturday, and like most lads his age I guess, all he thinks about is gaming and eating!
So Saturday brunch at the local farm shop/cafe, the Hog & Hen:

Then for the evening, a meal at The Kings Head in Woodbridge. He had the “stacked” burger:

Mixed grill (for two)

Looks tasty - do you toss a coin to see who gets the piece of green pepper? Or are you dining with one of them vegetarians? They're everywhere these days.Quote:

Chicken curry and beef fillet at Ivan’s
Looks very quiet there Roy
Our hotel’s quite busy, this was in a restaurant attached to a hotel up the road that offered a complimentary taxi service. Their room only rates were significantly higher than what we paid for our all inclusive package.Quote:

Looks good, Barry, were you celebrating?
Not really. My partner's nephew was over from Germany to spend a few days in London. Whilst in the UK we thought he might like to see the village where we live, and to take him out to a very good restaurant in the village.Quote:

Very nice, but I'd need to get some butter on them spuds.Quote:

A bit of a cheat going on here as porcini are being used rather than the advertised truffle. A common substitution, as porcini do taste very similar to truffle, but at a fraction of the price.
Followed by
Loin of Venison, with berries, pear, green beans and baby new potatoes
