Entertaining...

The dinner party went well. Apparently I can host solo. 

Menu turned out to be:
Canapés (Camambert and quince wrapped in parma ham)

Langoustines and prawns with guacamole and salsa


The table laid:


And then I forgot to take any more pictures

Chicken cordon bleu
Black forest mouse thingy
Coffee

Lots of wine, lots of coffee. 

And very, very nice guests. I've known Eddie for 36 years, Kay for 32, James for 20, Eric for 5 and Linsay for about 2. They all got along well, tales were told, plans were laid. 

A very, very good night.

when I saw the tumblers and plastic bottle I thought for a minute it was a dry dinner party!

Kir Royale on arrival, white with the starter, red with the main, dessert wines, and malt whisky afterwards.

Out of six of us there were two drivers, which was bad planning, but one of them is a very light drinker and the other was recovering from Christmas Noro virus.
