Be My Valentine

Last night we went out for a lovely meal at one of our favourite country pubs The Strines Inn. It isn't too far from our house so makes for a lovely run out into the countryside. The pub had set aside a room for the valentine bookings and had dressed it just right with the open fire roaring away, the tables dressed and little goodie bags for each of the diners. It was just right and the food as always was very good. I had a very nice pheasant casserole packed full of meat and Liam had the steak with proper chips and salad.

It is unusual for us to go out on Valentines Day. We normally stay in and I cook a steak dinner but this year we decided to let someone else do all of the hard work and the washing up.

In other news the refund from P&O arrived this morning. Very swift service from the refund department. We were expecting this to be well into next week as is usually the case with refunds. Companies tend to be quick at taking your money but not so quick at refunding it. But credit where it is due, P&O have excelled in this department and we are now looking forward too a lovely and substantially cheaper cruise at the end of next month. We still can't work out how they make any money on £184 for two people in a premium outside cabin, coach transfers too and from Amsterdam and a breakfast for two each day!

Still we won't complain about it.
