Gluttony

We are sitting here making ourselves feel sick eating too many Elizabeth Shaw mint crisp chocolates and drinking far too much wine. Disgraceful really, especially as we went out for a meal last night and ate and drank far too much. We have discovered the most amazingly good restaurant in a village about 20 mins from here. You have to be prepared to remortgage your house to eat there, but it is fandango-tastic. Ben said (in all seriousness) "This is the place we have been searching for all these years". You had to be there I guess, but it was very very funny. Meanwhile, the poor children are eating very badly, poor KP has refused all food except a bowl of peas today, and T has been chain-eating Percy Pigs all day.
Over to Ben
Elaine has eaten far more of the chocolates than me, and has made up a new word- a mix of a word from Bohemian Rhapsody and a real word!!
The meal was actually my treat- everyone should have a husband like me!!

You can live on omelettes, baked beans, sausage & apples next week. To make a fortune, open any decent eatery in Bicester village.
What do women do when shopping?
They stop to drink coffee & eat cake & there's only two, totally inadequate coffee shops.
Close down that rubbish Clarke's shoe shop & aj & I will run a tea shop.
