Where has the two weeks gone?

I have been to Barcelona and Lincolnshire, both absolutely marvellous and very different. I went to Lincoln for the first time in about 10 years and walked up Steep Hill - appropriately named and was very relieved that the heavy casserole I wanted to buy was at the bottom of the hill near the car. I got a blister on my thumb from playing playstation too vigorously and spent a really good time with friends I miss a lot.

When I returned I cooked for some other friends - a red wine risotto as a starter, a beef and ale casserole (well I had to use it!) for main course and a chocolate mousse to finish. The excuse for the evening was playing Globetrotter Trivial Pursuit which we did afterwards, all was accompanied by good wine, including a very nice fairtrade wine - Thandi - which I will buy as a treat sometimes. Now I could do with a couple more weeks off.
