Despite the pouring rain we had planned to visit a Ploughing Match just outside Bransgore this morning. I thought it might be a good photo opportunity. Unfortunately the ground was too muddy and slippery either for Jackie to park the Modus, or for me to risk slipping over.
We continued on to Ringwood hoping to buy a wedding album for Becky and Ian. Wessex Photo didn’t have one in stock but have ordered some samples for us to look at.
We took the opportunity of brunching at Café Aroma. Even there, my gourmet burger was served on a lump of wood with chips delivered in a miniature supermarket trolley which had lost its wheels. Jackie’s choice was jacket potato with tuna and mayonnaise filling. She felt fortunate to have a plate.
This afternoon I printed a complete set of A4 size photos taken by me and by Miche. In deference to parental wishes, no images of Poppy were included in yesterday’s post, but there are quite a few for Mr and Mrs Steele.
Elizabeth returned this evening from a couple of days at Mum’s. The three of us dined on Hordle Chinese Take Away fare. Jackie drank Hoegaarden. My sister and I drank Albali Reserva 2012.
That’s a serious looking burger!!
Thanks a lot, Pauline
Oh my word! I’ve never seen a hamburger that huge! Did you eat it all, Derrick? If so, you should be set for the next couple of days. 🙂
I didi indeed, Jill. Many thanks
I’ve heard of a finger supper, but that burger looks like a two-handed lunch! Did you start from the top and work down?
Yep. Took the brioche off first. Thanks a lot, Leslie
That burger looks amazing!
It was, indeed
Ooh! Ooh! Excited clappy hands and wiggly feet! 🤗😀
Both laughing out loud here. Pics all done. Album should be ready in week 🙂 XXX
Wow! Doesn’t that make me hungry early in the morning?
🙂 Thanks very much, Uma
Yum, yum 🙂
🙂 Thanks very much, Arlene
Wow, what a burger! 😮 😀 But I think I would like what Jackie ordered!!! 🙂
An album for the wedding photos will be a wonderful gift for the bride and groom. 🙂
We are getting hard rains tonight and they say it will rain again tomorrow.
HUGS!!! 🙂
Many thanks, Carolyn. Jackie is so pleased that you favoured her baked potato 🙂 X
There are a lot of companies out there, wouldn’t it be cheaper for you to order an album yourself on-line. Amazon isn’t the only company and it’s usually the most expensive.
Possibly, but I prefer the personal touch when I can get it. I do have a very large white album I bought on line. I bought three for before and after photographs of the garden and couldn’t get them large enough locally. If I don’t like what Wessex Photo come up with I will use that. Thanks a lot, GP
That gourmet burger looks delicious!
It was. Thanks very much, Gary
A wedding album is a good choice for the happy couple. Also, your food choices were excellent, and elicited many an envious sigh!
Wow–those lunches! I haven’t seen the wood as plate trend here, but I did see some delicious looking french fries (chips) in a fryer basket like that yesterday.
I’m sure the photo album with your wonderful photos will be an excellent and appreciated gift.
Very many thanks, Merril
I just showed the photo of the burger to my husband. He was very impressed. 😉
🙂
yummm…I see onion rings…..mmmmmm…..
🙂 Thanks very much, Kim
That’s a very impressive burger. Hope you ate your salad too, Derrick 🙂
Many thanks, Inese. Yes, I was a good boy 🙂
Nice lunch! I need to go back a few days and see what I missed!
🙂 Thanks very much for that, Jodie
That looks like my kind of burger! 🙂
Thanks a lot, Widders
Looks yummy!
Thanks very much, Laurie
How is that food eaten? With great difficulty I’d imagine, but where to start; what to use…………
Starting by taking off the top layer of the brioche, one stratum at a time – gingerly, with a knife and fork. Thanks very much, Brian
