April is the months of birthdays, starting with a big one for Walter. Namely his 70th. And like cheese and wine, which improves when left to mature, 70 years means that Walter is right in his prime. Of course Walter also loves cheese and wine, and it has obviously been good for his health. So it will be carry eating and drinking, with some travelling thrown in of course.
Walter's 70th birthday dinner, NZ lamb, slow roasted in the oven, with all the trimmings. The second lamb roast in 10 days. Very tasty.
The very flat birthday cake. I had thrown the appropriate cake tin into the recycling bin the previous night, and the rubbish men had emptied it, so had to make do with a large tin. But the taste of the cake was delicious, and that is what is important. The flat cake was easier to cut into slices too. Very efficient.
Steve's birthday dinner, delicious beef and ale pie followed by delicious profiteroles. Very sophisticated. Emma has excelled in her culinary skills.
And yesterday another birthday dinner, mainly for Walter, but also for Steve and Patrick. The three 'boys' all race to blow out the three candles. And guess what, slow roasted lamb again, but local organic lamb this time. And those delicious profiteroles too.
And then the sun came out.
But there will be no more lamb on the menu for a while. We are a bit over slow roasted lamb, even the local organic type.
