Good News

How about a drop of good news? Celia and I are celebrating our 56th anniversary on Saturday and we had a table booked for the evening on that day.

With this God’s little acre of salubrious Essex suddenly being thrown over the side by a particular Minister it was cancelled. The news could have caused ructions you-know-where so, after almost truthful pleadings, the day was saved and tonight's the night. The restaurant obliged with another one that had been vacated by another couple who had decided to stay indoors. My thanks to them, I don’t know who they are, and also to the restaurant for their sterling work.

So tonight we have a table for two starry eyed lovers in the best, and our favourite, Italiani Ristorante in Leigh on Sea. I’ve been playing my old CD of Billy Joel’s classic all day as a hint.

A taxi, of course, because the lady doesn’t drink – another reason why we married – so I’ll just have to have at least two glasses of Nero D’Avola, just to do it justice. Oh, and ref the wine, I don’t do White stuff.

Well done both of you, and Ray we can assume you are not the"Mr Levy" who had his letter about women in the DMail 2/3days ago? Chris.S.

Nice one Ray, my good lady and myself celebrated our 23rd wedding anniversary during the first lockdown with a bag of fish and chips on the beach.

I'm rather hoping the next one can be back to the usual slap up meal at our favourite restaurant.

Here is to many more happy years for you and Celia.
