Just think of it as coming over for a cup and a chat...

Catching Up
Gosh it's been busy since we got back from Ireland! We've been to a wedding, had Bill's sister and brother in law stay with us, been to Cragside and we'll soon be going to another wedding.
Makes me look back to my afternoon with Vivien with fondness. We just walked down to the beach for a meal at Riley's Fish Shack (two shipping containers on King Edward's Bay, one for the kitchen, the other for seating.) Of course we chatted non-stop, but it was restful all the same.
It was a beautiful day, but chilly. Our food was a while coming but well worth the wait. That said, I like to be warm and comfy when I eat, so I doubt I'll ever be a major fan of Riley's. But I've long been curious about this place, so it was good to have the experience. Box ticked! Then we called into Lola Jeans on the way back, to have a leisurely cup of tea. I love the decor there.

I'm an American woman in my 60's, originally from Oklahoma, but now living in England. I write this blog mainly because I love to write, but also to share my experience of living abroad with others. I'm having a much bigger life than I ever imagined. I think it is one of the benefits of frugality, also of occasionally taking the scarier option.

I'm with you, I like being cozy when I'm having a meal. I love the chandelier and unicorn! What a great pic!
