We were out celebrating St George's festival tonight at the wonderful Rainbow and Dove in Hastingwood - one of my favourite Pubs. In a tribute to St George, the whole menu was the best of English food and it was absolutely delicious. Vanda and I were with our friends, Lee and Sarah Dangerfield. Don't tell anyone, but Sarah particularly enjoyed the desserts!! Vanda, being from Brazil, and somewhat brave, decided to try, the most English of dishes, Jellied Eels. I somehow get the feeling that this was the first and last time, she will be enjoying such a delicacy. I of course, being adventurous, had a first rate steak and chips, with sponge and custard for dessert. Rumours that I had to be carried home, are of course exaggerated.
All in all a great evening. The Rainbow and Dove, did England proud, as we all put on the pounds!
P.S. Looking forward to further celebrations tomorrow, when the Essex Yeomanry march through Harlow, in what is an historic occasion.
