A Moveable Feast
IT SOUNDS A STRANGE THING to do - having a meal in different peoples’ houses; starters in one, main course at two venues and then puddings all together in another, - but that is what Swaffham Prior's Moveable Feast does. And I have to say it makes for a fascinating evening on several levels. I've never taken part before –always heard about it afterwards - and I did think I might have put a jinx on it as people were slow to sign up this year and cancellation was a possibility, BUT NO -the organisers have another success under their belt, and all credit to them.
The evening began with excellent starters in the garden at Adventurer's Farm giving people a chance to chat en masse (even those who arrived in a rush - everything in Swaffham Prior seems to start at least half an hour before I think it does - shame on me!) And then we drove to our separate venues for mains - chicken with peppers and tomatoes - time for more intimate chatting round beautifully set tables. Then a short walk to the final setting for puds and coffee. And what a setting; elegance and beauty inside and out, with puddings to complement, and a lovely summer evening. Time to sit back, renew old friendships, catch up on gossip and revel in the pleasant surroundings. What more could one ask? Even for a birthday!
