Tis the season to be jolly .... (fa la la la la la) and this weekend was no exception, we met up with friends not seen in a while. Our venue was approximately half way between us and a nice choice (IMHO), we had a great evening - good company and fab food - calling that a reSULT!

Tasteful festive decor

Nice place though, as you can see ... we were in well early!
