Yesterday I took my husband out to lunch for his birthday to a really nice hotel overlooking the beach pictured on my last post. Despite a few light snow showers earlier in the morning the sun was shining and sea was calm. The tide was out and people were excercising their dogs and children were playing.
To get there we went across the River Fal on the King Harry Ferry, one of only five chain driven ferries left in the country. It saves a drive of twenty-seven miles so worth the £7 return ticket. I am posting a photograph of the ferry.
Today, a group of friends and I had a 'practice' lunch! We raise funds for two charities, this time Shelter Box, and are holding a dinner in June with a North African theme so needed to try out our ideas. The lunch took us five hours to prepare, eat and dijest! but we do know now that the actual meal should be a success!
Tickets are £10 if anyone wants to come!
Still working on my 'memories' blog.

I do hope that you'll post menus, and perhaps even recipes for your North African lunch!
Sounds delicious, even if it is several thousand miles away!

I will. Boatlady
