Just realised that I spent a good part of my already long life thinking that  "ear muffins" keep you warm in the winter! Who needs a translator...

So it is weather alert here there and everywhere. In Hanover street today, it is bright and sunny, no snow, no ice, just a glorious winter day.

joder! Bang! grump! rrrgghh! : 

Answer : Paula on a friday afternoon

Next rugby weekend should get interesting, Scotland versus England... I am looking forward to the brave heart and Gibson lookalikes. Hopefully it will get suitably noisy!  Allons enfants de la Patriiiiiiie!!

So as you do, you get into Tesco, get a hearty soup for the harsh winter, Winter vegetable soup, expect carrots, celery, leeks, cabbage!!! but no sweetcorn ! Thank you Mr Covent gardens, for sure the best winter veg I ever tasted

Not surfed, not turfed, not wrapped, not baked, not sweet, not sour, just stuffed, seared and puffed up.

Happy new year

Xmas is good, Vaiiri loves her present-She will smell different, I bet-, and Stasia showed a surprising bout of weakness. A last day with a shiny eye. Paula is full of life and commanding with her stunning face and long curly hair, Amy and the crew full of energy, our customers HAPPY. Happy Xmas to all. The wind washed the sorrows away.

Moist leg and firm breast, generously sliced from a tender beast, all embraced in a long thin golden blanket of firm yet soft baguette, soft stuffing and deep pink sensuous cranberry sauce : The perfect turkey sandwich. Velvety and sticky bread sauce optional!!

I saw a squirrel flying by this morning. A strong gust of wind and a light structure-He looked scared but there was a shine in his eyes. A bit like us, really!

I am happy, Amy, Paula, Mhairi, Heidi... and everyone else are making our restaurants looking like great Xmas boxes. The trees are delightfull and lit looks like snow is on its way
