Hi friends,
As good old
M came from Germany on Wednesday, we went to his favourite Rooftop Restaurant
in Stratford-upon-Avon.
Although we did
not book in advance, we could get a good table with the lovely view, looking down the Avon and the meadow behind it. It was simply beautiful in twilight.
We started
with a glass of Rose and Cucumber cocktail. It sounds odd, but trust me, ladies
and gentlemen, it was gorgeous. It is lovely gin based cocktail with rose
syrup, lemon and cucumber.
I really
like M’s company as he has got a similar view to mine regarding foods. He
confessed he spends rather a lot on foods and wine. This is the man who bought
Land Rover Discovery only few weeks after Range Rover Evoque. I should not ask
him how much he means by “rather a lot”.
Drink was
nice, food was lovely and the company was absolutely fabulous, as always.
Only
downside of this treat was, the man at the table near ours. A waitress brought the wrong
order to our table and when we were talking with her, there was this horrible
man shouting at us.
It was his
and his (supposedly) wife’s order. This kind of mistake happens all the time, doesn’t
it? There is no need to talk to a young waitress so rudely for such a small
error. He shouted at us as well. “You did not touch it, did you?”
What an
unpleasant man! There is no sign of class in this behaviour, so unsuitable for such an elegant venue.
Their
service is always friendly and appropriate there. I have to say, Mr Nasty, it is a
law of attraction. We like the place because they provide “us” excellent service
and foods.
One of the
waiters said that he studied German but as he has not many opportunities to
practice, he is forgetting the language. He obviously heard the accent as he said
that in German. I normally pretend that I do not understand German but M at last noticed that I actually do. Oops.
The reason why
I gave up learning other European languages is, my ex-boyfriend (happened to be
a German) said I sound like a Brummie when I speak in German! Doh!
Shockingly, nearly
15 years ago, my ex-colleague from Belgium said exactly the same thing when we
were talking in French and he kindly advised me to stick to English….Doh!!
Never mind.
Anyway, it
was a lovely evening with nice foods and a great company. Thanks M, let’s go
again.
