We Decide Which is Right and Which is an Illusion

Here's a great photo of me and my two brothers that my friend Steve took at Wembley Stadium on May 23rd.





That's my elder brother Chris in the blue shirt and my younger brother Richard in the striped shirt.

Had a nice day out on Saturday at my brother's "little" place in the wonderfully named village of "Cross-In-Hand" in the county of East Sussex.




and here's their cat "Sheba" coming to investigate the camera!

Lynn, Claire and I were treated to a meal out yesterday by my brother and sister-in-law to celebrate my 50th birthday (couple of months late due to Claire's knee!)

We met them at The Flushing Inn in Rye, East Sussex



The Flushing Inn has been run by the same two families for over 40 years and the service and food is always excellent.

I opted for :

Starters : "A Smokie Platter" (Various smoked fish)

Main : English Fillet Steak garnished with mushroom and tomato, this was served with sweet red cabbage, courgettes, carrots, chipped potatoes and new potatoes.

Dessert : "A Celebration of 30 Years at the Flushing" (Homemade meringue, coffee ice cream, butterscotch sauce, brandy, cream and nuts)

Lynn had peppered steak, whilst Claire and my brother (Chris) and his wife (Jane) opted for the Loin of English Lamb prepared with rosemary, honey & lavender.

Jane didn't want cream on her dessert so they put more brandy on it to make up for it!!!

Claire had a "Sussex Skip" for dessert (Black cherries, vanilla ice cream, brandy and cream) whilst Chris went for a "Susan Bailey" (Vanilla ice cream, butterscotch sauce, brandy cream and nuts)
