Aylesbury, England

[Sundae]

We opened our presents at about 10.30, then headed down the Dairy Maid at about 12.15.
We weren't due to eat until 13.00, but it obviously made it easier for them to seat people and offer them food as they could, rather than have a massive influx at 13.00. So we got our starters about 12.35.

Dad was really quite cross at anyone who arrived after 13.00.
"Oh, here's another latecomer!" he'd say, with no appreciation that he could be heard! Then again, he said it so jovially I doubt they would have understood his point.

Silly old sod, like it mattered to us.
But it shows were I get my obsessive timekeeping from. I'd always thought it was from Mum. Then again, being married to her for this long would be anough to make anyone take on her values.

As you will see in a later photo, all the tables were reserved and everything paid for in advance.
It was a lovely relaxed meal (again!)

Mum and I had pate to start, Dad had Torpedo Prawns.
