Moveable Feast
Saturday 28th April, 2007
WE WERE LUCKY TO HAVE A FINE EVENING and even luckier in the interesting venues Janet Willmott had found for us to visit. We all (28 of us) began at Pam and Martin Mead's beautiful barn conversion. The light flooded in through the huge window and we were able to admire all the hard work that Martin must have put into the conversion. The starter Pam prepared was a tasty dish to begin the meal. After much chat and admiring comments we moved onto various locations for our main course.
Robin and I enjoyed a delicious meal of three different meat or vegetable lasagnes and salads at Dee and Andrew Noyes' house. Other fellow diners went to Caroline and James Matheson's house or Janet and James Willmott's where I gather the food was equally delicious. The wine flowed freely, as did the chat, and then it was time to move onto our pudding venue at Katrina and David's house.
We were altogether again at our final destination for puddings, coffee and tea. Needless to say we were very interested to see their home in Greenhead Road. Most of us had watched it being built and were delighted to have the opportunity to go inside! We were encouraged to have a good look around and appreciated it. There were some fabulous looking, and tasting, puddings and I think we were all probably tempted to try more than one - or two! I know several ladies provided the puddings and I don't know who you all were but they were very yummy!
Thank you to everybody who fed us all and welcomed us into their homes and thank you to all the diners, without whom there would be no point in having a Moveable Feast. Last, but not least, thank you to Janet Willmott for organising the whole occasion. It was a great success and I thought I heard you say that you were already planning next year's Moveable Feast! If any of you have never been before do try and come next year. It is such fun as you meet and have a chance to chat to people whom you have probably never spoken to before. It's a great way to get to know others who live in, or near, Swaffham Prior.
I very nearly forgot that in addition to having such a good time we raised £333.15 for the Church. A very enjoyable way to do some fundraising!
