Back home I saw that the Mirabelle plum tree was in blossom.
Sunset, photo taken from the back door.
You always tease us with the delicious looking food, Diane.
ReplyDeleteLOLthe duck breast was particularly good ! Take care Diane
DeleteThese food outings always make me drool. I love duck and haven't eaten it in forever. Not easy to find here. Don't feel bad about being a few days behind, I'm months behind.
ReplyDeleteThese luncheons are alway good. Generally 6 courses and wine, all in for anything between €12 and €20 each About US$15 to US$24. In the Uk you would not even get the wine for that let alone the meal as well. Take care and have a good week Diane
DeleteI have such a good time going on an outing with you.
ReplyDeleteGlad that you enjoy these virtual outings, now if only you could enjoy the meal as well LOL. Diane
DeleteWhat a great day you had, Diane. What a delicious menu! I am glad that your friend Alan is OK now. Kisses!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Mia, it was touch and go as to whether Alan would ever walk again, he landed head first! Take care and have a good week Diane
DeleteI could make a lunch of the cheese tray alone!
ReplyDeleteMe too, but when this food keeps arriving....... and of course the wine...... have a good week Diane
DeleteBeautiful blue skies, delicious food and friends, a stunning sunset. What a lovely day!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kim. Hope that you have a good week, take care Diane
DeleteThe prawns in the basket and the duck meat both look yummy! Very impressive church building, pretty plum blossoms and gorgeous sunset! Have a happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteIt is a pretty town Nancy and I have taken photos of the church inside before, but I now cannot find them! Excellent food and cooked perfectly. Stay well Diane
DeleteSorry, I meant a happy new week! Lol!
ReplyDeleteLOL you have a good week also. Diane
DeleteThat looks a delicious luncheon for a club dinner. Doctors say we shouldn't climb ladders after 55 years of age because we loose our sense of balance. Bill had a friend who died after being in a wheel chair for a few years after falling from the roof.
