Both myself and Denise have our birthdays in March, mine exactly one month ago, and Denise ten days after me. So we were on our cruise when we celebrated our birthdays.
My brother and his wife decided to treat us for a special Sunday lunch when we got back and today was the first time we had been able to get together to arrange it. We were taken to a lovely pub and restaurant called the 'Ye Old Ferrie Inn' in Symonds Yat in the Wye valley, about fifty miles from Cardiff.
This really is a remote place, down a small country lane. If a car is coming the other way one has to move over.
The food there however is delicious. Most of us chose a Farmers plate, which was a kind of 'Ploughmans lunch' with Ham, Cheese, Terrine, pickles, salad. Really filling and worth every penny. Denise chose the Chicken Sunday lunch, which she said was wonderful.
And then on to desserts, where two had home made ice cream in three different flavours and the other two had sticky toffee pudding, which they said was wonderful. All in all a great lunch and a place to go back to again.
Below is myself and Denise, my brother Martin and his wife Mandy, and just a photo of the river next to the pub.
