Babes in the woods.

As I said in my last posting, Colin and I went to our local pub for a meal on Saturday night.  Its a small country pub but it has won awards for its food so we were both really looking forward to it. After the long walk (about 2 mins, tops...lol) Colin bought us a drink whilst we looked at the menu, he has been trying the local ales the last few times we have been in, which have great names like Spitfire, Shannons and one over Halloween called Spooks I think.  Anyway they had one that he hadn't tried called Seafarers which he enjoyed very much, even though the ale in the South never seems to have a head on it like it does up North.  The landlady said to let her know when we were ready and she would show us to our table, we had a choice of one right in front of  the fire or one just through into the next room, we opted for the latter as the fire was roaring and we were already quite warm.  I opted for the pan fried salmon with new potatoes and vegetables which was cooked to perfection with a lovely crispy skin and Colin went for the homemade steak and mushroom pie with new potatoes and vegetables that was also delicious apart from the crust being slightly over done.  So our pub definitely gets the thumbs up from us and next time we will both be a little more adventurous with our selection now we know that they can get the basics right.
We decide a couple of weeks ago that last weekend would be a good time to start letting the cats out for short periods of time until they get used to where we live. Well out they went on Sunday afternoon and they had a ball.  They were into all the nooks and crannies looking for mice and squirrels but I'm glad to say they didn't find either.  The best time they had was in the little wood/copse we have right at the far end of the garden there are loads of leaves for them to scoot about in and lots of trees for them to climb so you can imagine when they finally did come in the were fast asleep in no time. Aww bless :)
