Sometime around 8.00 pm my train stopped in Oxford. I was met by Paul and Sam, who drove me to Phil and Rachel’s house for a stunning and unanticipated dinner party. I felt quite the adult sipping my red wine during pre-dinner conversation. We enjoyed a green bean and squash salad, pheasant, peas, parsnips, Brussels and potatoes, followed by apple and black currant crumble topped with custard and cream. During the meal we compared Paul and Sam’s top picks for white wine for their wedding reception and talked about any number of genuinely interesting things. Pudding was followed by tea and “morish” hazelnut chocolates in front of the fire. If this is adult life I think I’m ready for it.
I took a hot and high pressure! shower and curled up under a down comforter for a beautiful night’s sleep.
