Fine dining......!

After wintering the Surrey home of friends Sherry and Geraldine this evening, , we ate out at The Drummond in Albury...a favourite eating place when in this area. The log fire was burning welcomingly (can you say that?) and our meal here was delicious as always.

A poster for a new sparkling wine from the Albury organic vineyard called Silent Pool drew my attention....and I bought a bottle. I learnt this wine had been served to The Queen on the royal barge on the occasion of her diamond jubilee. 

More interesting is the story behind Silent Pool.  Do google it.. Last summer our friends made a tour of all the villages in the area with fascinating names such as Silent Pool and shared its story with us. Drowned maidens haunting cries etc!!

And wonderfully, the rain stopped and the sun shone for our drive to Surrey. And tomorrow is Friday and the first days back have been OK really!
