Potatoes gratin
Berry crisp - all from Cooks
The baked bean aisle at the supermarket
Starbucks everywhere also.
Elizabeth and I visited the gardens of Cliveden, a stately home nearby. It is now a hotel, so the inside can only be visited at certain times.
Chuck would have loved the beautiful clipping job. He loved to clip.
We made it to the center of the maze and out again in record time. John was waiting for Elizabeth to make his cucumber sandwich for lunch so we had to hurry.
On our shopping rounds (picking up Elizabeth's computer at John Lewis), we ran into friends who invited us to tea the next day.
Fiona
Fiona's dog, house and garden. Somehow I missed her husband in my pictures.
As a thank you for their wonderful hospitality, we went to a "really nice restaurant" right on the Thames for Sunday lunch. We had a table by a window and these were our views.
Every once in awhile the lock opened and hen we had a parade.
The restaurant from the other side of the river.
We all chose the same: Scottish salmon.
Roast beef with Yorkshire pudding, roasted potatoes,broccoli, green beans and carrot purée.
For dessert Elizabeth and I had chocolate cherry creme brûlée.
John chose something that sounded strange. Cranachan is toasted oats folded with sweetened whipping cream and some sort of fruit and topped with a splash of whiskey - preferably a god single malt. I think that all scottish recipes are better with a splash of whiskey - I've seen it recommended for oatmeal!
