Does life get any better than this?

Yesterday my new shoes/semi boots from Ecco arrived - half price in the sale - I love them
Demara, or something like that:


I recommend their sale - they might have something you like left.

Today, the post brought the cake forks that I bought on e bay - I seem to have a bit of a problem with buying cake forks at the moment!
They match the cake slice that I bought at Malvern Flea Market as part of an armful of mixed treasures, for £5

Sorry, just gone into e bay mode.
These are not for sale anyway, keep or a gift.

We went into Birmingham on the train to have lunch at "Edmunds" in Brindley Place - an 8 course taster menu bought on Travelzoo as a gift that hadn't worked, so we used it.
It was magnificent, service, food and presentation from the carrot and ginger soup with ginger croutons with a drop of hazelnut oil infused with Moroccan spices to the chocolate mousse in a chocolate box with pistachio ice cream with pistachio crumbs then 5 amazing cheeses.
The best chocolate mousse ever!
The chef came out to chat and sent a dish of petit fours with our coffee.
Started at 1.30, left at 3.45pm, back to Grand Central aka New Street Station, and home, to collapse by a log fire.

Time for bed.
