"The holiday" & bear lunch

It almost feels like the week-end has never happened, as it just went so quickly.

On Saturday we went to see "The holiday", the new Christmas romantic holiday.
I must have left my old cynical self at home because I just loved it. Predictable? Corny? Yes, probably... but who cares?
I came out of the cinema with a big smile on my face!

The holiday

The sweet little cottage in the film

was just lovely and, if it had been a couple of years ago, I would have come out of the cinema longing for something similar... but not now, as we're happy in our very own little (semi-detached) cottage! OK, it's not in the country and the surroundings are not as idyllic, but we love it!

Yesterday we went to Ross & Jim's for lunch. It turned out to be a bear lunch, as there were also a couple of German bears (Ralf and Wilhelm)!

It was a lovely meal but then being Jim and Ross it was no surprise!
They even remembered that one of us didn't like offal, and so their steak and kidney pudding was instead a steak and mushroom.
And that was just one of 4 courses!
