jeni and I are flying to Lesbos and the weather will be warm and sunny.
We are going to a little place I know overlooking a bay. The gorgeous Greek waiter will place our table outside where we will have the best view of the little ships skimming across the waves. The sea will be very blue.
I am starting with a Buck's Fizz and jeni is having a diluted Pernod.
Suggestions please for starters, main course, dessert and drinks.
No chocolate for me!

Annobel Sat 07-Apr-12 23:29:31

Thanks, glamma, I will bring a bottle of Prosecco just to make it all the more cosmopolitan.

glammanana Sat 07-Apr-12 23:34:33

Thats us sorted then !!!

Annobel Sat 07-Apr-12 23:58:59

What time do we arrive?

Greatnan Sun 08-Apr-12 00:03:38

11 a.m. Time for a few drinks before lunch. (No, it will have to be 11.30, after the Archers' Omnibus)

glammanana Sun 08-Apr-12 00:06:48

I can only stay for a couple of hours as I am on chef duties to-morrow and got to make good impression on DS2s new girlfriend,so can't have too much to drink before hand !!! I may just pop in and out and say hi to any Greek waiters who may be in the vacinity.grin

Greatnan Sun 08-Apr-12 00:36:49

Good night all, see you tomorrow!

glammanana Sun 08-Apr-12 11:18:54

Well I am on my way should be with you soon,have you left yet annobel or have you had a better offer I've got a couple of bottles of wine and some lemonade to mix with the ouzo so jeni and I are sorted.lets hope there are no holdups on the way.

Annobel Sun 08-Apr-12 12:00:55

No hold-ups here. I am about to jump aboard my transport.

Annobel Sun 08-Apr-12 12:09:49

Just crossing the Alps. Still lots of snow!

glammanana Sun 08-Apr-12 12:17:18

I think I took a wrong turn I had to make a diversion because I was in the flight path of a few Easy Jet planes I should have hitched a lift shouldn't I surely one was on it's way to France,but I should catch up soon.grin

Annobel Sun 08-Apr-12 12:37:14

Why are you heading to France, Glamma? I thought we were going to Lesbos, well, that's where I've set the sat nav for... confused. Oh, is that it I see ahead? Yoo hoo Greatnan!

jeni Sun 08-Apr-12 12:49:07

Archers finished! Showered ,washing sorted and in.
Where's the jet greatnan? Or did you mean the jet stream? I think that a bi north of where we want!
Hi ho hi ho, it's off to lunch we go!grin

Annobel Sun 08-Apr-12 13:17:08

Why are we waiting? Why-y are we waiting? ...............................

jeni Sun 08-Apr-12 13:22:06

Where's greatnan? Did she get caught up with the French air traffic controllers!? I hope she's not threatening them with her walking poles! You know how feisty she can be grin

Annobel Sun 08-Apr-12 13:27:20

Glass of something, jeni? I have a bottle of Prosecco. Once it's open we have to finish it - the fizz won't keep. Cheers!

jeni Sun 08-Apr-12 13:40:44

Yes please, hang on I've got some gravy to add to it!

Annobel Sun 08-Apr-12 13:46:55

No thanks, jeni, I'm a veggie and besides, who drinks prosecco with gravy?

jeni Sun 08-Apr-12 13:49:45

The gravy consists of a 50/50 mix ou brandy and Cointreau! It's lovely with bubbly!

Greatnan Sun 08-Apr-12 13:51:27

I'm here, I'm here - got caught up in a long phone call to my sister, sorting out her damned passport!
I'm really thirsty - all that flying always makes me dry. They don't give you free booze on Easyjet - good job I brought my own Lanson Black Label (didn't want to be accused of being posh!)
It was snowing when I left the Alps, so it is good to enjoy the sun here on Lesbos.
Cheers!

Annobel Sun 08-Apr-12 13:51:44

Lethal! I'll have some of that, thanks! Where's glamma? She said something about tailing an Easyjet plane to France. Perhaps she is picking up Greatnan.

Annobel Sun 08-Apr-12 13:52:53

And by the way what do you think of my Easter bonnet? I had to make some sort of effort for the occasion.

Greatnan Sun 08-Apr-12 13:55:31

Lovely, Annobel,just what you need in this blazing sunshine. Do you want to borrow some Factor 50?

jeni Sun 08-Apr-12 13:55:59

I think the live chicken on top is a bit much!

Greatnan Sun 08-Apr-12 13:57:36

That's lunch, jeni!
