Bye bye Geoff

Our esteemed union baron, and all round good egg, Geoff "The Don" Leyshon, retired on Friday from work. A quiet drink at the local real ale hostelry Friday, which turned into a long night. That's the great thing about the unplanned. What was going to be a couple and then home, turned into a great evening, with so many people from work, past and present, putting the world to rights, as well as drinking several barrels of various delightful real ales dry :-D

That became the introduction to a fantastic weekend. Footy on Saturday with Sy, (they won 3-1 :-D), then a mad dash to Cambridge for Geoff's surprise meal at the Arundel House Hotel. I had the sugar cured fillets of Salmon, which despite the idea of fish and sugar, really worked. Then to follow, a gorgeous poached beef and chicken fillet on a bed of stilton mash, drowned in a gravy made from port and spring onion, yum :-p Several glasses of wine, and then a mad dash to the station to get the last train home, with minutes to spare.

Lay-in this morning, then off to Asda to pick up a few bits and pieces. Last nights culinery delights have got me creative juices working, wonder what I'll throw together next week :-p
