The Easter Bunny came early this year in the shape of
grandparents bearing gifts from Sydney. Their arrival was heralded by rows of
children trooping up the stairs like so many Egyptian slaves carrying bag after
bag chock-stuffed with goodies: to my delight not only Lindt bunnies but Campari,
Bacardi and strawberry tart, too.
In case anyone on earth didn't know, Lindt Dark Chocolate Bunny is Lara's absolute favourite. Apart from Dark Chocolate 85% Coco. It's a close thing.
Lunch (well dessert,
in this case) on the balcony - it may be
autumn but still more than warm (at 34 degrees the other day). Never have
dessert with fewer than three types of cake and five types of children.
More group photos
Probably talking recipes or something
…And then the celebration. The 26th marked our
one-year anniversary – an occasion in itself but we ALSO discovered a decent
restaurant in Newcastle!! Only the second one so far, so it’s a rare find. OK,
so you’re dying to know? Bocados at Warners Bay. Spanish. Finally, some
honest-to-goodness nice cooking, tapas
reasonably authentic and not too dumbed down, not under the illusion that by
waving large table napkins and coating your floor in marble you can pretend
your food is worth the eating. Here’s the pork belly tapas (presented by Mr
Walker with apparently slightly piratical tendencies)….
... and here's me with a nice Tempranillo with slightly inebriated tendencies. Cheers to all!
