Ladies who Brunch

On Sunday I had the most wonderful brunch thanks to my friend Cathrin who returned from a whistlestop  visit to London with a case full of goodies.

Cathrin, our wonderful hostess

 The excitement was palpable as we set up the table for the ladies who brunch: bagels, cream cheese, smoked salmon, prosecco, fresh orange juice, chorizo, spinach, lovely bread and fresh milk! These may seem mundane items to you but believe me here they are like manna from heaven.

This was then topped off with the Saturday Guardian, Times and Independent for those in search of serious stories.  However, the fight was over Grazia and Heat!

Here is the table laden with the amazing fare and us ladies enjoying a Bucks Fizz on Cathrin’s lovely balcony.

Needless to say we stayed a long time and had a thoroughly relaxing day. 

There may be more to come as I heard Cathrin mutter the words feta, goats cheese, fresh pasta, puy lentils, parsnips, beetroot, rhubarb and raspberries.  I’m sitting here with fingers crossed for an invite to dinner!
