Dinner

After rushing Rowan back from her choir performance, we left her with babysitter Claire then whooshed off to dinner with Danielle’s old boss at Joseph Rowntree [Lord Best] and his successor Julia who is a friend of Danielle’s. Me, Patrick and Lindy made up the six. They had kindly delayed dinner till 9.00, so that we could combine choir and a night out. It was a fantastic meal and great company. It got even better. I had assumed I would be driving back, so drank nothing. We then negotiated for Patrick and Julia to give us a lift back to York, with me leaving the car and cycling the next day to pick it up. As this meant a relaxed evening and an excuse for a 12 mile ride on Sunday morning, it was pretty much a perfect arrangement.
