Happy Anniversary

On Monday Geoff and I celebrated our 4th anniversary. After work, we put the kids to bed, spruced up and headed off to The Square for dinner. It's a Michelin two star restaurant so Geoff was hugely excited and of course took the tasting menu (meaning I had to too). There were 7 tiny courses which Geoff matched with at least 5 glasses of wine plus he finished off my plates (including the not at all small chocolate souffle at the end). The food was good, not as great as at Petrus a few weeks ago, but still I wouldn't dare complain. After dinner we headed home and Geoff moaned of feeling full. Being 8 months pregnant I was not the most sympathetic of wives. It was a lovely evening and we reminisced about all the things that have changed in our lives these last few years: 2 kids plus one on the way, bought and renovated a home, set up Isabella Oliver with Vanessa... We look forward to the next 4!

COMMENTS

We went to Chez Bruce on Bellevue Parade. I managed to persuade the team there to add "Happy Birthday Sarah" to her pudding plate. Sarah was so thrilled it made the water rise to my eyes! She said "how did you know I'd order the cheesecake?".
