Jean's Birthday

We  had a family meal on Friday with Katherine, Erin and Rhys.  Finger food and Jean's chocolate cake that she cooked by a new receipt which unfortunately did not meet her usual standards.  But it tasted not too bad to me.

Cheers!

Jean and I went to Braidwoods Restaurant by Dalry on Saturday for lunch. Excellent food - high quality but not quite a filling lunch for me.

Jean had duck confit followed by pork loin. I had pea and lettuce soap, rabbit wrapped in pancetta and stuffed with mushroom. We both had  choc truffle cake with salted caramel ice cream. The coffee and hand made chocolates finished the meal. I really like their coffee. Just the right degree of bitterness.

A wild day which was bitterly cold. The open fire in the restaurent put a smile on the face.  Due to the heavy snow half the tables for the previous evening had cancelled. Once again Ayr was in its own special snow free zone. We were not hit as hard.

A bright and clear day. After the Sunday gym session and a quick lunch we took a stroll along the prom.

Erin and Rhys Stop Over

Erin and Rhys are stopping over during the half term holiday. As they now live just round the corner this is a rarity. Sunday TV goes out of the window for the XBox and Monopoly.

Camper shoes have quietened down recently. Jean still has her bright pair. Always turns heads.

New Year 2013

Katherine, Erin and Rhys joined us for the bells.





I got a good sequence of images which bucked the trend - high tech games being over come by a good old fashioned board game. It sucked the two kids in.
