 Tuesday 23^rd April

SHE SAID:

Geoff the chef joined most of the rest of the group for the cooking class today; I didn’t join in. He seemed to enjoy it & they ate the fruits of their labour for lunch. I wasn’t game to join them, having not helped out, plus two large meals a day is too much for me.

I went for a short, wet walk around the grounds & along the road, but gave up as the rain got heavier. Back in the room I got most of the photos sorted till yesterday.

Geoff returned with a taster of the biscotti he’d help make.

We had dinner in the restaurant alone, with the rest of the group wanting to eat at 8pm, too late for us.

HE SAID:

The cooking this morning was interesting, though having everything pre-prepared and then led by a chef was not a real-world situation. We all contributed some labour, with pasta, focaccia, soup, and biscotti made. We ate it for lunch, and it was much tastier than last night's chicken and spuds. The weather was atrocious, so being inside was best.
