Yesterday, we were welcomed to the home of one of the local cycling group to join the team and their wives for their New Year's Eve lunch. We didn't think that after just a few weeks of moving here we'd be spending an afternoon with such a lovely group of people.
Among then was a woman with the most fabulous name - Salome. She arrived carrying a enormous platter, but far from it containing the head of a rather unfortunate baptist, she unveiled it to reveal a huge - and incredibly delicious - panettone bread and butter pudding. It was like eating a hug.
I can only hope that the last few hours of 2016 gave us a glimpse of how 2017 could be; great food, sparkling company and the sound of laughter and happiness to accompany it all. That's what I wish for us and that's what I wish for all of you. Happy New Year!
