…every day is pancake day!

Congratulations to Sarann and Moz, who tied the knot earlier this month. The ceremony was in a beautiful setting and the entire day was enjoyable, which is most unusual for a wedding.

Can a restaurant that only serves chicken and lamb produced a mixed grill? Yes, apparently they can.

While dining at Home Town Chinese Restaurant, we were going to order two soups, but the waiter recommended one would be enough. No wonder – I don’t think I could have finished that as a main course!

Last week, someone called Aston Merrygold came to visit the office. Apparently he is a member of the band JLS and is on Got To Dance, which I understand is a TV show. I might not have been too fussed, but apparently lots of people were.

My suggestion that we should get some guest scientists in didn’t seem to be a popular suggestion.

The panorama function on my phone does not produce flattering results.

While up in the Dales, we found some ponies.

Last weekend, we headed up to the Yorkshire Dales for Elina’s birthday. We stayed at Hollins Hall, which is part of the Marriot chain.

It was quite a nice hotel, they have a big pool, although there were people in it which was always annoying and their spa bath was a bit rubbish. It was nice to have a decent length pool though.

The service was excellent, and the staff were friendly.

We dined in their Heathcliff’s Restaurant, which was OK, though I was a little disappointed by the roast, as the Yorkshire pudding was a bit hard and crispy. The white chocolate sauce that came with the profiteroles was a winner though.

Not enough places have a “gin of the week”.
