My lunch companion

We finally got to take our friends J and V out to lunch. We had to postpone twice as Mr EAnn had cold and J’s immunity is compromised by his chemotherapy. It was lovely to see him doing so well and coping really marvellously with the psychological strains of his awful situation.
Anyway we planned to visit the Queen Victoria in Allerton Bywater which is across the road from our old house, but when we got there they weren’t serving food this lunchtime for reasons too complicated to bother you with. So instead we headed a bit further out to the Chequers Inn at Ledsham. One of my favourite pubs. Been going there since I was underage (oops).
The steak and mushroom pie was beyond compare and the company was excellent. Including this over friendly pusscat. I didn’t like to say that I’m allergic :-(
